Pi – The Movie.
That’s right, the movie, and it really should have been called Phi but the producers probably felt that Pi would have appeal to a broader audience.
Released in 1998, this intense and intriguing drama focuses on a mathematical genius who finds patterns in everything.  If you like this site, you’ll probably like this movie.  Available in DVD or VHS.

The Colours of Infinity – The Beauty and Power of Fractals: A compilation from Benoit Mandelbrot, Ian Stewart, Sir Arthur C. Clarke and others. The book includes a chapter from Elliott Wave International’s Bob Prechter titled “The Human Social Experience Forms a Fractal,” which discusses the fractality of stock market prices and gives readers an overview of R.N. Elliott’s discovery that the stock market is patterned by the human herding impulse. Includes a bonus DVD of the groundbreaking TV documentary, from which this book takes its name, seen in over fifty countries and featuring a musical soundtrack by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour.  Click HERE to order.


The Da Vinci Code – by Dan Brown: It’s not often that you find a fascinating novel grounded in the Fibonacci series, the paintings of Da Vinci and a creative and clever blend of sacred geometry, history and religion.  Whatever you make of the theories put forth, if you like this site, you’re likely to love this intriguing and thought-provoking work of fiction.  Then when you’re done, read the truth that is stranger than fiction.


The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown uses plot elements based on the Fibonacci series and phi, the golden ratio
