Exercise 1.35. Show that the golden ratio ϕ (section 1.2.2) is a fixed point of the transformation x ↦ 1 + 1/x, and use this fact to compute ϕ by means of the fixed-point procedure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This follows directly from the definition of ϕ. (fixed-point (lambda (x) (+ 1 (/ 1 x))) 1.0) → 1.6180327868852458
