Fibonacci Sequence
- The ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers approach
the number ⱷ (Phi), known as Golden Ratio.
- Approximately equal to 1.618.
Exercise
Let Fib(n) be the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence, with Fib(1)=1,
Fib(2)=1, Fib(3)=2, and so on.
1.Find Fib(8).
2.If Fib(22) = 17,711 and Fib(24) = 46, 368, what is Fib(23)?
Exercise
Evaluate the following sums.
a.Fib(1) + Fib(2) = __________
b.Fib(1) +Fib(2) + Fib(3) + Fib(4) = ________
Some Examples:
1. Seed heads
 Sunflower is an example of a spiral pattern.
Some Examples:
2. Pine Cones
 The seed pods on a pinecone are arranged in a
spiral pattern.
Some Examples:
3. Tree Branches
 Fibonacci sequence can also be seen in the
way tree branches form or split.
Some Examples:
4. Shells
 Logarithmic spiral – bounds in nature
Some Examples:

a land or area, average investment and expenditure,
average return of income, production per unit area, etc.
Mathematics and
Economics
Mathematical language and methods are used
frequently in describing economic
phenomena.
Mathematics and
Psychology
Experimental psychology has become highly mathematical due to
its concern with such factors as intelligence quotient, standard
deviation, mean, median, mode, correlation coefficient and
probable errors.

to make financial sense of the future.
Mathematics and
Archaeology
Use a variety of mathematical and statistical techniques
to present the data from archaeological survey and
try to distinguish patterns in their results.
Mathematics and Logic
Symbols and methods used in the investigation of the foundation
of mathematics can be transferred to the study of logic.
They help in the development and formulation of logical laws.
Mathematics in Arts
Artists who strive and seek to study nature must therefore first fully
understand mathematics.
Appreciation of rhythm, proportion, balance and symmetry
postulates a mathematical mind.
Mathematics in
Philosophy
Mathematics occupies a central place between natural philosophy
and mental philosophy.
Between fact and fiction that Plato and other thinkers came under
the influence of mathematics.
Mathematics in social
Network
Graph Theory, text analysis, multidimensional scaling and cluster
analysis, and a variety of special models are some
mathematical techniques used in analyzing data on a variety of
social networks.
