This spiral is a very close approximation to the Fibonacci Golden Spiral. It
uses a growth factor, b, of 0.005347 (more info on this at the Wiki link
provided on this page)
Start by creating two cells which contain the constants a and b
Create a column entitled theta, which increments by a value of 1
Then generate the columns for the x and y values of the Golden Spiral from
the formulae given below
x = a*COS(RADIANS(theta)*EXP(b*theta))
y = a*SIN(RADIANS(theta)*EXP(b*theta))
Then PLOT the x,y data
I show two plots opposite: One of the Golden Spiral itself (bottom) and a
copy of that (top) with squares drawn in to fit the Golden Spiral
