Abstract
We study the linear fractional transformations in the Hecke group where is either root of (the larger root being the "golden ratio" .) Let and let be a generic element of the upper half-plane. Exploiting the fact that , we find that is a quotient of linear polynomials in such that the coefficients of and in the numerator and denominator of appear themselves to be linear polynomials in with coefficients that are certain multiples of Fibonacci numbers. We make somewhat less detailed observations along similar lines about the functions in for .
