    • 3 Pages

    The Fibonacci sequence The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers developed by Leonardo Fibonacci as a means of solving a practical problem. The original problem that Fibonacci investigated‚ in the year 1202‚ was about how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Suppose a newly born pair of rabbits‚ one male‚ one female‚ are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that

    Fibonacci Sequence Fibonacci‚ also known as the Leonardo of Pisa‚ born in the early 1770’s AD in Pisa‚ Italy‚ has had a huge impact on today’s math‚ and is used in everyday jobs all over the world. After living with his dad‚ a North African educator‚ he discovered these ways of math by traveling along the Mediterranean Coast learning their ways of math. With the inspiration from the “Hindu-Arabic” numerical system‚ Fibonacci created the 0-9 number system we still use to this day. One of his

    follow is called a Fibonacci sequence and is often found in nature as well. Many instances in which the Fibonacci Series is present in nature are that a lot of flowers and cone shaped structures have the number of petals as one of the Fibonacci numbers. However some plants such as the sneezewort plant (as seen left) can be seen demonstrating the Fibonacci pattern in succession. It happens on both the number of stems and number of leaves.   Another appearance of the Fibonacci Series in nature

    The Discovery of the Fibonacci Sequence A man named Leonardo Pisano‚ who was known by his nickname‚ "Fibonacci"‚ and named the series after himself‚ first discovered the Fibonacci sequence around 1200 A.D. The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each term is the sum of the 2 numbers preceding it. The first 10 Fibonacci numbers are: (1‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 5‚ 8‚ 13‚ 21‚ 34‚ 55‚ 89). These numbers are obviously recursive. Fibonacci was born around 1170 in Italy‚ and he died around 1240 in Italy

    that Fibonacci investigated (in the year 1202) was about how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits‚ one male‚ one female‚ are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never dieand that the female always produces one new pair (one male‚ one female) every month from the second month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed

    the hypothesis was to look for patterns in nature focusing in the Fibonacci sequence as a main and looking for angles. What was first done was to count a pine cone’s pieces‚ a flower’s petals‚ a celery‚ and grapes to find the Fibbonacci sequence which not found only on the celey and on the flower‚ elsewhere the Fibonacci was there. After finishing the experiment I started noticing more patterns relating to the Fibonacci sequence. For example‚ in a tree you start counting by the tree trunk; if you

    SON OF A DIPLOMAT HELPED MY FINAN-CIAL LIFE. What is a Fibonacci number? The simple definition is when added together it equals the next number. The Fibonacci numbers are: 1‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 5‚ 8‚ 13‚ 21‚ 34‚ 55 and so on. In my indicators that I use I always try to use a Fibonacci number‚ but sometimes the numbers that I use in the charts are not Fibonacci numbers. Why is that? The reason is that I believe you should use the Fibonacci whenever possible but you have to be aware of all the other

    particularly that of the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. In Debussy’s Nocturne‚ composed in 1892‚ I look into the use of the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. Previously it has been noted that composers used the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio in terms of form‚ however in my analysis I look into the use of it in terms of notation as well. I will explore how the idea of Sonata form is used along with the Mathematical Model of the Fibonacci sequence. It is however important
