1. Who was Fibonacci?
The "greatest European mathematician of the middle ages", his full name was Leonardo of Pisa, or Leonardo Pisano in Italian since he was born in Pisa,Italy (see Pisa on Google Earth), the city with the famous Leaning Tower, about 1175 AD.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Starting with 0 and 1, the sequence goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so forth. Written as a rule, the expression is xn = xn-1 + xn-2.
4. What is the use of the Fibonacci sequence?
Fibonacci numbers are a sequence discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci in the 13th century.
The sequence is
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,... on to infinity.
The sequence has a series of interesting properties.
The sum of any two consecutive numbers equals the next highest number.
5. How do you work out the Fibonacci sequence?
Add the the first term (1) and 0.
Remember, to find any given number in the Fibonacci sequence, you simply add the two previous numbers in the sequence.
To create the sequence, you should think of 0 coming before 1 (the first term), so 1 + 0 = 1.
6. How is the Fibonacci sequence related to the golden ratio?
Connection Between the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Sequence. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... So, dividing each number by the previous number gives: 1 / 1 = 1, 2 / 1 = 2, 3 / 2 = 1.5, and so on up to 144 / 89 = 1.6179….
7. Where is the Fibonacci sequence found in nature?
The Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple and branches of plant.
THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE, SPIRALS AND THE GOLDEN MEAN. The Fibonacci sequence exhibits a certain numerical pattern which originated as the answer to an exercise in the first ever high school algebra text. This pattern turned out to have an interest and importance far beyond what its creator imagined.
Leonardo Pisano, English Leonardo of Pisa, original name Leonardo Fibonacci (born c. 1170, Pisa?—died after 1240), medieval Italian mathematician who wrote Liber abaci (1202; “Book of the Abacus”), the first European work on Indian and Arabian mathematics.
10. How did the Fibonacci sequence come about?
Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the sequence which converges on phi. In the 1202 AD, Leonardo Fibonacci wrote in his book “Liber Abaci” of a simple numerical sequence that is the foundation for an incredible mathematical relationship behind phi.
11. What is Fibonacci most famous for?
Fibonacci popularized the Hindu–Arabic numeral system in the Western World primarily through his composition in 1202 of Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation). He also introduced Europe to the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, which he used as an example in Liber Abaci.

2. When was the Fibonacci sequence created?
The Fibonacci sequence was invented by the Italian Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (1180-1250), who is known in mathematical history by several names: Leonardo of Pisa (Pisano means "from Pisa") and Fibonacci (which means "son of Bonacci").
