Mathematics and Beauty

A body in symmetrical and in proportion attracts to another person's body. Likewise, if a face is in proportion, we are more likely to notice it and find it beautiful. Scientists believe that we perceive proportional bodies to be healthier. If we see the picture of Monalisa then we can observe that. His drawings of the human body emphasized its proportion. The ratio of the following distances is the Golden Ratio :(foot to navel /navel to head).
The mask of the human face is based on the Golden Ratio. The proportions of the length of the nose, the position of the eyes and the length of the chin, all conform to some aspect of the Golden Ratio.
Similarly, buildings are more attractive if the proportions used follow the Golden Ratio. This ratio was used by architects and artists throughout history to produce objects of great beauty (like Michelangelo's "David" and the Greek temples.) We can also see this ratio in nature, in the patterns we see in sunflowers, pine cones and so on. This is largely because one of the best ways to efficiently pack things tightly together is using the Fibonacci sequence that means the ratio of 1.6………
