What are five facts about Fibonacci?

Answer 1

1. Fibonacci's full name was Leonardo Pisano Bogolla, although he is also called Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, or Leonardo Fibonacci.

2. He is considered one of the best mathematicians of his time.

3. He spread the Arabic numeral system to Europe when he published Liber Abaci in the early 1200's AD. If he hadn't done that, we might still be doing math using Roman numerals!

4. He was born about 1170 AD, the son of an Italian merchant named Guglielmo Fibonacci.

5. He did not discover the Fibonacci Sequence, although he did use it as an example in his book, the Liber Abaci.
