It is an effective sequence of numbers which repeats itself in nature (and arguably design). Artists have been also very interested in Fibonacci and what they refer to as the "golden mean" which allows a harmonious composition. Leonardo DaVinci looked to the Greeks who seem to have become aware of this centuries earlier.
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......= )
A recursive sequence uses previous numbers to find the next number in a sequence after the base case. The Fibonacci sequence is an example of such a sequence. The base numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1. After that base, you find the next number in the sequence by adding the two previous numbers. So, the Fibonacci sequence looks like so: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.... So, the third number is found by adding the first and second numbers, 0 and 1. So the third number is 1. The fourth number is found by adding the second and third numbers, 1 and 1. So, the fourth number is 2. You can continue on this way forever.
The spirals on sunflower seeds are Fibonacci numbers. Have a look here, you will find some great project ideas for this! http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/fibslide/jbfibslide.htm
Fibonacci found it interesting because he loved maths
I personally find 'Fibonacci's numbers' and the 'golden ratio' to be most useful in the prediction of lottery results. ADDED: Ah, but have you won the jackpot by trying to use a formal series and a geometrical construction in a question of extremely low probability based on very high factorials?
Fibonacci's other names were Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci and Leonardo Fibonacci.
His treatise, Liber abaci (1202), contains the famous Fibonacci sequence.
Fibonacci's rabbit problem involves tracking the reproduction of rabbits over time, where each pair of rabbits produces another pair every month. The sequence of numbers that arises from this scenario is known as the Fibonacci sequence. A diagram typically shows the number of rabbit pairs at each time step, illustrating how the numbers grow according to the sequence.
Start with the numbers 1 and 1. After that, every number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus, the sequence starts with: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...
this question is wrong.
You can find biographies and autobiographies about mathematicians online at places like Math.com. You can also find these books at your local library.
In nautilus shells and you have 5 fingers and that is a Fibonacci number. Find a better answer, I'm running out of answers!
