COMMENTS
In the polar equation for a logarithmic spiral: r = a*e^(b*theta), b represents the tangent of angle alpha, where alpha is the polar slope of the curve. In a golden spiral equation, b = log(phi)/(Pi/2) (being: log the natural logarithm; phi the golden ratio: 1.61803398...), therefore, alpha = arctan(log(phi)/(Pi/2)).
FORMULA
alpha = arctan(log(phi)/(Pi/2)).
