Spend an evening with Prof. Burkard Polster, a mathematician at Monash University, as he delivers his public lecture The Other Golden Ratio as part of the 2026 AMSI Summer School.

The golden ratio and the Fibonacci numbers, everyone’s favourite mathematical duo, appear in countless beautiful and unexpected places across mathematics and nature. In this presentation, I’ll introduce you to another, much less well-known but equally remarkable pair that shows up just as often in the same places, but with surprising twists.
