Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0 and 1. This sequence appears frequently in nature, such as the spiral pattern of seeds on a pinecone or florets of a flower. The Fibonacci sequence was introduced to Western mathematicians in 1202 by Leonardo of Pisa and is derived from a formula where the next number equals the sum of the previous two numbers.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

• Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that follow a unique integer


sequence.
• These numbers generate mathematical patterns that can be found in all
aspects of life.
• The patterns can be seen in everything from the human body to the
physiology of plants and animals.

• The fibonacci sequence is derived


from the fibonacci numbers.
• These numbers are obtained from the
formula-
Fn=Fn-1+Fn-2
• These numbers are obtained by
adding the two previous numbers in
the sequence to obtain the next
higher number.
HOW DOES THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
WORK?
• The Fibonacci sequence is as follows:
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610..and so on.
• As a rule the first 2 numbers in the sequence has to be 0 and 1 .All
other numbers follow the rule of adding the two previous numbers
in the sequence. EXAMPLE: 1+1=2, 2+3=5, 5+3=8
• Every third number in the sequence is even.

HISTORY OF THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE


• The exact date of origin of the Fibonacci sequence
is unknown.
• It is believed that contributions to the theory
began in 200 BC by Indian mathematicians whose
studies were based in the language of Sanskrit.
• The sequence was introduced to Western
European mathematicians in 1202 by Aka
Fibonacci (famous as the Leonardo of Pisa).
Fibonacci spiral
• This spiral is created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite
corners of squares in the Fibonacci rectangle.
• The numbers form what are called as Fibonacci rectangles. These
rectangles are unique because each rectangle has length of sides equal to
the magnitude of the Fibonacci numbers.
• Within these rectangles we can create a spiral with cross sections equal to
exactly 1.618 (the golden mean) with the corresponding angle of 137.5
degrees.
