Patterns and structures lie at the heart of mathematics, some even say they are mathematics. But how do they help us do mathematics?
Dan Brown in his book, The Da Vinci Code, talks about the "divine proportion" as having a "fundamental role in nature".

But Dan Brown does not talk about mathematics, he talks about a number. What is so special about this number?
