square root of 5

The square root of 5 is an irrational number involved in the formula for the golden ratio. It is also used in statistics when dealing with 5-business day weeks. Its decimal expansion begins 2.2360679774997896964, see http://www.research.att.com/ njas/sequences/A002163sequence A002163 in Sloane’s OEIS. Its simple continued fraction is 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, … One formula for the square root of 5 involves some of the same numbers as in Euler’s identity (but with a 2 instead of the 1): $e^{i\\pi}+2\\phi$ . The square root of 5 modulo a prime number is employed in some ECM algorithms.

A rectangle with unit height and $\\sqrt{5}$ width can be split into two golden rectangles of the same size and a square, or into two golden rectangles of different sizes.

The conjecture stating “that any abelian surface with RM by $Q(\\sqrt{5})$ is isogenous to a simple factor of the Jacobian of a modular curve $X_{0}(N)$ for some $N$ ” still stands. John Wilson has produced equations for curves of genus 2 with Jacobians of the specified RM.
