Isnt the Golden ratio a rectangle that is supposed to be aesthetically pleasing? I hear it mentioned all the time, but what exactly is it? Please enlighten me!

Start here: Golden ratio
This link has a lot of info about the Golden Ratio and Mathematics.
I am more familiar with it being used to design buildings, but there is lots to learn about it.

Think of it like this:
You take one rectangle and double it.
You make a second rectangle the the same size as the previous 2 combined.
Then you make a third the same size as the previous 3 combined.
And so on...
At least that is how it is used in geometry. It has a lot of similarities to the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. I would suggest you research it over at wikipedia.com. That is where I gained my knowledge of it.
