The Fibonacci Numbers

and
The Golden Ratio
 Who Was Fibonacci?

~ Born in Pisa, Italy in 1175 AD

~ Full name was Leonardo Pisano
~ Grew up with a North African education under the Moors
~ Traveled extensively around the Mediterranean coast
~ Met with many merchants and learned their systems of arithmetic
~ Realized the advantages of the Hindu-Arabic system
 Fibonacci’s Mathematical
Contributions
~ Introduced the Hindu-Arabic number system into Europe
~ Based on ten digits and a decimal point
~ Europe previously used the Roman number system
~ Consisted of Roman numerals
~ Persuaded mathematicians to use the Hindu-Arabic number system

 The Fibonacci Numbers

~ Were introduced in The Book of Calculating

~ Series begins with 0 and 1
~ Next number is found by adding the last two numbers together
~ Number obtained is the next number in the series
~ Pattern is repeated over and over

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, …

F(n + 2) = F(n + 1) + Fn
 The Fibonacci Numbers in Nature
~ Fibonacci spiral found in both snail and sea shells
 The Fibonacci Numbers in
Nature Continued

Lilies and irises = 3 petals

Buttercups and wild roses = 5 petals

Corn marigolds = 13 Black-eyed Susan’s = 21 petals

petals
 The Golden Ratio

~ Represented by
the Greek letter Phi
 The Golden Section and The
Fibonacci Numbers Continued
~ The golden section arises from the Fibonacci numbers
~ Obtained by taking the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci series

1.6180339887498948482....
• For this reason, as well as its practicality, it
is used extensively:

• In all kinds of design, art, architecture,

advertising, packaging, and engineering;
and can therefore be found readily in
everyday objects.
 The Golden Section in
Architecture

~ Golden section appears in many of the proportions of the Parthenon in Greece

~ Front elevation is built on the golden section (0.618 times as wide as it is tall)
 The Golden Section in
Architecture Continued
~ Golden section can be found in the Great pyramid in Egypt
~ Perimeter of the pyramid, divided by twice its vertical height is the value of Phi
