Abstract
A golden-ratio-based rectangular tiling of the first quadrant of the Euclidean plane is constructed by drawing vertical and horizontal grid lines which are located at all even powers of along one axis, and at all odd powers of on the other axis. The vertices of the rectangles formed by these lines can be connected by rays starting at the origin having slopes that are odd powers of . A refinement of this tiling results in the familiar one with horizontal and vertical grid lines at every power of along each axis. Geometric proofs of the convergence of several known power series' in are provided.
