The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. When graphed, the sequence creates a spiral. The sequence is also related to the "Golden Ratio." The Golden Ratio has been used to explain why certain shapes are more aesthetically pleasing than others.

How is Lenardo Fibonacci discoverey used in science?
Your mind will be blown if you search Phi, The golden ratio, or the fibonacci sequence. It has to do with everything.
How is the Fibonacci sequence important in math?
The sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, ..., is used in mathematical programming to find the interval containing the minimizer of a function of one variable. Fibonacci was the founder of the Fibonacci Sequence, in which each number is found by adding together the two before it. The first few numbers are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...
Can every natural number be expressed as a sum of Fibonacci numbers where no number is used more than once?
Yes.Since 1 is a member of the Fibonacci sequence, it is always possible. Any natural number, N, can be represented as a sum of a string of N ones.Yes.Since 1 is a member of the Fibonacci sequence, it is always possible.

What was Fibonacci famous for?
Fibonacci was most famous for his contribution to mathematics, specifically the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci Sequence is as follows: Start with the numbers 0 and 1, add them together you get 1, then add 1 and 1 together you get 2, then add 2 and 1 together you get 3 then add 3 and 2, 5, then 5 and 3, 8, then 8 and 5, 13 and soon below is all the Fibonacci numbers upto 233, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233... In other words each number is a result of the two previous numbers added together. The significance of this is that the higher you get in the sequence, you can divide a number and its previous number and that will give you a number close to the golden ratio (a special number that is used very frequently in mathematics, usually designated by the letter "e"). Fibonacci, or Leonard of Piza, was perhaps the western world's most exalted mathematician of the middle ages. He is best known nowadays for the discovery of the Fibonacci Series -- a series that occurs throughout nature. In this series, every new number is the result of the sum of the previous two numbers. Like this: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 ... Many things in nature are related to Fibonacci series. No. of petals in any flower is a Fibonacci no., No. of steps in a round stair-case is a Fibonacci no., etc
A side of math where can you find the golden ratio?
The Fibonacci sequence can be used to determine the golden ratio. If you divide a term in the sequence by its predecessor, at suitably high values, it approaches the golden ratio.
