	The Fibonacci Sequence 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 Every figure is the sum of the two preceding 1 2 + 3 = 5 8 13 + 21 = 34 55 89 The Golden Section is devised from this ratio When a Golden Rectangle is progressively subdivided into smaller and smaller Golden Rectangles, a pattern is obtained. From this, a spiral can be drawn which grows logarithmically, where the radius of the spiral, at any given point, is the length of the corresponding square to a Golden Rectangle.	Holly Huynh Electrical Engineering 2007 “My path to Cal Poly is a little unusual. I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand.” When I was two, we moved to Rosemead. Since I was so young, I don't remember the challenges my parents faced, but it was very tough. I've always been interested in electronics. I remember my father was trying to fix a microwave oven and I was amazed by all of the wires. Later in high school, I took an aptitude test and the result was 'electrical engineer.' That, lucky for me, sparked my interest in Cal Poly.
