Fibonacci Sequence

Many sources claim this sequence was first discovered or “invented” by

Leonardo Fibonacci. The Italian mathematician, who was born around A.D.
1170, was initially known as Leonardo of Pisa.

The Fibonacci Sequence is a definite pattern that can begin with either 0, 1
or 1, 1. The sequence is generated by adding the previous terms, so that 0
+1 equals 1, 1+1 equals 2, 2 + 1 equals 3, 2 + 3 equals 5, 5 + 3 equals 8, 8
+ 5 equals 13, 13 + 8 equals 21, 21 + 13 equals 34, 34 + 21 equals 55, and
so on.

The number of petals in a flower consistently follows the Fibonacci

sequence. Famous examples include the lily, which has three petals,
buttercups, which have five,the chicory’s 21, the daisy’s 34, and so on.

Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci. Was an Italian number theorist. He introduced

the world to such wide-ranging mathematical concepts as what is now
known as the Arabic numbering system, the concept of square roots,
number sequencing, and even math word problems.

Fibonacci numbers are used throughout society. It is astonishing how these

sets of never-ending numbers, are used in various ways. From being able to
compute pi and being used in art, Fibonacci numbers are very unique
compared to other mathematical subjects.

Many things in nature and our civilization can be described using numbers,
patterns, and such. The Fibonnaci Sequence happens to decribe some of
nature’s most seemingly complex and intricate designs.

The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence formed by the infinite terms 0, 1,

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... In simple terms, it is a sequence in which every
number in the Fibonacci sequence is the sum of two numbers preceding it
in the sequence. Its first two terms are 0 and 1. The terms of this sequence
are known as Fibonacci numbers. The first 20 terms of the Fibonacci
sequence are given as follows:

Here, we can observe that Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 for every n > 1. For example:

•F2 = F1 + F

•F3 = F2 + F1

•F4 = F3 + F2, and so on

Fibonacci Sequence Formula

The Fibonacci sequence formula for “Fn” is defined using the recursive
formula by setting F0 = 0, F1 = 1, and using the formula below to find Fn.
The Fibonacci formula is given as follows.

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2, where n > 1

Note that F0 is termed as the first term here (but NOT F1).

Fibonacci numbers are related to the golden ratio. Any Fibonacci number
can be calculated using the golden ratio, Fn =(Φn – (1-Φ)n)/√5, Here φ is
the golden ratio and Φ ≈ 1.618034.

To find the 7th term, we apply F7 = [(1.618034)7 – (1-1.618034)7] / √5 =

13

The ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers is called the “golden ratio”. Let A
and B be the two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. Then
B/A converges to the Golden ratio. To find any term in the Fibonacci
sequence, we could apply the above-said formula.
Just by multiplying the previous Fibonacci Number by the golden ratio
(1.618034), we get the approximated Fibonacci number. For example, 13 is
a number in the sequence, and 13 × 1.618034… = 21.034442. This gives
the next Fibonacci number 21 after 13 in the sequence.
