A book on arithmetic called Liber Abaci, or Book of Abacus.
The Fibonacci sequence is named after Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci. His 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been described earlier as Virahankanumbers in Indian mathematics.
The series 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... is called the Fibonacci series because it was his book that introduced the series to Western mathematicians. Unlike modern interpretations of the sequence, The Liber Abaci started the sequence at 1.
