Fibonacci is a famous mathematician who lived around the turn of the 13th century. He is known for a sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding it. He presented it as the total number of rabbits in a population after so many time periods, assuming that each pair of rabbits had a set number of birthings then died.

What did Fibonacci study?
Fibonacci study the breed of rabbits. :)
What type of animal did Fibonacci first study to discover the Fibonacci sequence?
I think it was rabbits.
What are the Fibonacci rabbits and numbers and why were they created?
Fibonacci was investigating the question of how fast rabbits could breed under ideal conditions. See the link below.
What animals did Fibonacci study the birth patterns of?
The famous Fibonacci sequence is supposedly based on rabbits.
How did the Fibonacci sequence get discovered?
Discovery of the Fibonacci sequenceThe discovery of the Fibonacci sequence arose as the solution to a problem that required a mathematical approach. Leonardo Fibonacci, who was also known as Leonardo of Pisa, an Italian mathematician of the 13th Century, was trying to model the population of rabbits. His working hypothesis was that each pair of rabbits gave birth to a pair of baby rabbits in a period. In the next period, the babies were not yet old enough to breed but the original pair bred again. In the following period, the original as well as the babies from the first period bred. And so on. The number of pairs of rabbits in any period is given by the Fibonacci sequence.
What ia a famous quote by Fibonacci?
Fibonacci was a Mathematician. His famous quote is, "A man has one pair of rabbits at a certain place entirely surrounded by a wall. We wish to know how many pairs will be bred from it in one year, if the nature of these rabbits is such that they breed every month one other pair and begin to breed in the second month after their birth.'
Why did Fibonacci think of the Fibonacci code?
There is the Fibonacci sequence but what is the Fibonacci code?
How long did Leonardo Fibonacci live?
He lived [Fibonacci(10) + Fibonacci(8) + Fibonacci(6)] years
Who invented the Fibonacci sequence?
Leonardo Fibonacci wrote about recreational mathematics, some of which involved number series such as the Fibonacci series that he is credited with discovering. * * * * * It is said that he was modelling rabbit population when he came up with the sequence that now bears his name. The rules are simple: 1. Rabbits that are one year old are juveniles and do not breed. 2. Each pair of rabbits aged two or more produce a pair of rabbit each year (forever!). 3. No rabbits ever die (what?). The whole process could apply to periods shorter than a year. Year 1: One pair of rabbits aged 0. Year 2: One pair of juvenile rabbits. Year 3: One pair of mature rabbits + One pair offspring aged 0 = 2 pairs Year 4: One pair mature + One pair offspring age 0 + One pair juvenile = 3 pairs Year 5: Two pair mature + One pair offspring age 0 + One pair juvenile + one pair offspring age 0 (from the newly mature) = 5 and so on. This model is a pretty poor descriptor for a rabbit population so I suspect it is not true. But makes an interesting exercise for young minds.
What is Fibonacci functions?
what is fibonacci?
Why is the Fibonacci sequence named after Fibonacci?
Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the number sequence which is named after him.
Why did Fibonacci create the Fibonacci Sequence?
I think Fibonacci wanted to find how many swirls or petals were on a flower ....... most of them are Fibonacci numbers....i think.... doin a projct......= )
