25.4 Fibonacci Ratio

Nature, Math and Music 

Chromatic Scale

Starting at C and proceeding to the next C gives us an octave. In this octave you will find two black keys grouped together and then three black keys grouped together. Surrounding the two black keys are three white keys and surrounding the three black keys are five white keys. In the octave are eight white keys. Counting the white and black keys, you have 13 notes. These thirteen notes are known as a chromatic scale.

These numbers are the first numbers (after 1) in the Fibonacci Sequence.

Harmony?

Students can go on to research (at the previously mentioned Web sites) the vibrations per second of the notes in the chromatic scale beginning with middle C on the keyboard. Middle C vibrates at 264 vibrations per second, while A (the sixth) vibrates at 440 vibrations per second. This ratio reduces to 3/5, a Fibonacci ratio.

Programming in Basic - Commands

Create self booting Basic disks for PC's

Work on the following programs.

Example:

10      For j= 0 to 50  step 2

20     Print j, j*2, j^2

30 Next J

This prints all numbers from 0 to 50, then the numbers times two and finally, the numbers squared

1)       From 1 to 100

2)       From 0 to 100 counting by 7

3)       From 100 to 0 counting backwards by 7

4)       From 1 to 100 counting by .25

5)       Print all the odd numbers from 1 – 100

6)       Print all the multiples of 7 up to 100

7)       Print all the numbers between 17 and 43

8)       Print all the odd numbers between 56 and 78

9)       Print all the negative odd numbers between 0 and -100

10)   Print all powers of three from 1 to 27  (cubed numbers)

11)   Print the nine times tables beginning with  9 X 1 through 9 X 99

12)   BONUS I:    Write a program that has as it’s output --       9 X 1 =  9            9 X 2 = 18             9 X 3  = 27   up to 9 X 99 =  ???

13)   BONUS II:   Write a program that calculates the areas of a circle with a radius of   1 to 10  (Remember the formula for the area of a circle)

Write a program to print the numbers from 1 to 100
 

                    10  For J= 1 to 100 step 1
                    20  Print J
                    30  Next J

More programs.....
                From 2 to 200 step 5
                From 100 to 1 step -1
                From 1 to 100 counting by .25
    Write a program to accept your name and print a welcome message

                    10 Input "What is your name?"; N$
                    20 Print "Welcome", N$

     Write a program to ask for several names....   When you want to stop, write a message thanking the user for all the names.

                      5 Print "Please put several names in the computer"
                      6 Print "When you are finished, put the name STOP in"
                    10 Input "What is your name?"; N$
                    20 If N$ = "STOP" Then 50
                    30 Print "Hi"; N$
                    40 go to 10
                    50 Print "Thank you for participating"; N$
