Section 3.1.4, due October 10

To me, I found it a little difficult to understand exactly how the golden ratio was being constructed from the ruler and compass. I could not quite follow what they were saying.

However, I did find the applications of the golden ratio to be fascinating. I had heard about the rectangle, but I had no idea the idea extended to so many geometric applications. I think I understand a little better why it is called the golden ratio. It shows up over and over in more regular and images with some sort of symmetry.
