 The original problem that Fibonacci investi-
gated (in the year 1202) was about how fast
Fibonacci
rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances.
Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one Sequence
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 pro-
duce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our
rabbits never die and that the female always
produces one new pair (one male, one female
Leonardo
) every month from the second month on. The
Fibonacci
puzzle that Fibonacci posed was...
How many pairs will there be in one year?
