Leonardo da Vinci also used it to define the fundamental proportions of nature.<\/p>\n<p>The term Phi was not defined until the 20th century, at the hands of the mathematician Mark Barr who used the letter phi (\u03a6) to designate the golden ratio. During the 19th century the golden number was identified as \u03c4\u03b1\u03c5 (Tau), until Mark Barr gave it the name Phi Interestingly, Phi is the first letter of Phidias, who used this proportion in his Classical Greek sculptures. It is also equivalent to the letter &#8220;F&#8221; in the Greek alphabet, the first letter of Fibonacci.
