The 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.
