The Fibonacci Sequence It's as easy as 1, 1, 2, 3...a WARK What is the Fibonacci Sequence? The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that follow a unique integer sequence. These numbers generate mathematical patterns that can be found in all aspects of life. The patterns can be seen in everything from the human body to the physiology of plants and animals.mm AEE How does the Fibonacci Sequence Work? The Fibonacci sequence is derived from the Fibonacci numbers. The Fibonacci numbers are as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...and so on. These numbers are obtained by adding the two previous numbers in the sequence to obtain the next higher number. Example: 1+1= 2, 2+#3=5, 5+8= 13... The formula is: Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 Every third number is even and the difference between each number is .618 with the reciprocal of 1.618. These numbers are know as the “golden ratio” or “golden mean.”~ | A ZZ™/!>. What is the History of the Fibonacci Sequence? The exact origination of the Fibonacci sequence is unknown. Itis believed that contributions to the theory began in 200 BC by Indian mathematicians whose studies were based on Sanskirt prosody. The sequence was introduced to Western European mathematics in 1202 by Leonardo of Pisa, aka “Fibonacci” His study of the sequence began with the breeding patterns of rabbits. In which he found rabbit generations duplicated in accordance with the Fibonacci numbers. \
