He instructs readers in the geometric principles and historical resonance of the golden ratio, detailing its presence in architecture, nature, and visual art. The book illustrates how this irrational number governs proportion and harmony, from classical temples to spiral galaxies. Corbalán argues that mathematics is not merely functional but profoundly expressive, capable of revealing universal patterns of beauty. Through diagrams, historical context, and clear exposition, he uncovers the golden ratio’s enduring influence across disciplines. This volume stands as a persuasive testament to the elegance and cultural significance of mathematical thought.
