FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

How did the Fibonacci sequence come about?

Leonardo of Pisa aka “Fibonacci”

12
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

Fibonacci asked, “How do rabbits breed?”. He observed…

young pair of rabbits adult pair of rabbits

Idea:
- It takes a month for a young rabbit to become adult.
- It takes a month before an adult rabbit bears a young rabbit.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

Month 0 1

Month 1 1

Month 2 2

Month 3 3

Month 4 5

14
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

How is the Fibonacci sequence derived?

1. First two terms of the sequence is 𝟏 and 𝟏.

2. Add two consecutive terms to get the next term.

𝟏 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟓 𝟖 𝟏𝟑 𝟐𝟏 𝟑𝟒 …

GOLDEN RATIO
CONCEPT: A line is divided into two sections containing a unique property such
that the ratio between the bigger segment and the shorter segment should be
equal to the ratio between the line and its bigger segment

GOLDEN RATIO
"Non mi legga chi non e matematico.“
– Leonardo Da Vinci

(“Let no one read me who is not a

mathematician.”)

GOLDEN RATIO
Parthenon (in Greece)

* https://www.goldennumber.net/parthenon-phi-golden-ratio/

The quotient of the length from foot to the top of the arch and the length from the
top of the arch to the tip of the roof is close to the Golden Ratio.
