The Fibonacci sequence is a set of integers (the Fibonacci numbers) that starts with
a zero, followed by a one, then by another one, and then by a series of steadily
increasing numbers. The sequence follows the rule that each number is equal to the
sum of the preceding two numbers. There 5 facts about Fibonacci Sequence first is
that the Fibonacci sequence has a special rule, We can see Fibonacci numbers in
everyday life, November 23 is Fibonacci Day, Leonardo Pisano is the original name
of Leonardo Fibonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci demonstrated the benefits of numbering.
In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fₙ, form a sequence,
the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the two preceding
ones. The sequence commonly starts from 0 and 1, although some authors start the
sequence from 1 and 1 or sometimes from 1 and 2. The sequence of numbers,
starting with zero and one, is a steadily increasing series where each number is
equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers. Some traders believe that the
Fibonacci numbers and ratios created by the sequence play an important role in
finance that traders can apply using technical analysis. The limits of the squares of
successive Fibonacci numbers create a spiral known as the Fibonacci spiral. It
follows turns by a constant angle close to the golden ratio and is commonly called
the golden spiral. The numbers of spirals in pinecones are Fibonacci numbers, as is
the number of petals in each layer of certain flowers. In spiral-shaped plants, each
leaf grows at an angle compared to its predecessor, and sunflower seeds are packed
in a spiral formation in the center of their flower in a geometry governed by the
golden ratio.

The golden ratio, also known as the golden number, golden proportion, or the divine
proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. Usually
written as the Greek letter phi, it is strongly associated with the Fibonacci sequence,
a series of numbers wherein each number is added to the last. The golden ratio has
been used to analyze the proportions of natural objects and artificial systems such
as financial markets, in some cases based on dubious fits to data. The golden ratio
appears in some patterns in nature, including the spiral arrangement of leaves and
other parts of vegetation. The first known calculation of the golden ratio as a decimal
was given in a letter written in 1597 by Michael Mästlin, at the University of
Tübingen, to his former student Kepler. The first known mention of the golden ratio is
from around 300 BCE in Euclid’s Elements, the Classical Greek work on
mathematics and geometry. Euclid and other early mathematicians like Pythagoras
recognized the proportion, but they didn’t call it the golden ratio. It wasn’t until much
later that the proportion would take on its mystique. In 1509, Italian mathematician
Luca Pacioli published the book De divina proportione, which, alongside illustrations
by Leonardo da Vinci, praised the ratio as representing divinely inspired simplicity
and orderliness.
