    This document introduces sequences and discusses the Fibonacci sequence in particular. It defines a sequence as an ordered set of mathematical objects and provides examples. The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence equation Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2, where F1 = F2 = 1. As the ratio of adjacent Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio, approximately 1.618. The document discusses where Fibonacci numbers and spirals can be found in nature and applications of the golden ratio.

    HOW ARE
    YOU TODAY?
    WHAT IS A
    SEQUENCE?
    Sequence
    • According to Wolfram MathWorld, it is an ordered set of mathematical
    objects. For example:

    2nn1

    2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,...

    Sequence
    • In a general sense, according to the Oxford Dictionary, it is “a set of
    events, actions, numbers, etc. which have a particular order, and which
    lead to a particular result”

    • Humans, through the course of history, are very fond of observing and
    understanding patterns around him especially in nature as it is
    beneficial and interesting to learn from it.
    • And where would these patterns realized before?
    • As Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) stated in one of his letters:

    “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
    with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and
    by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.”
    • Mathematical concepts, before we know and learn it as how we know it
    in class, started in nature.
    • One of most notable number sequence that is observable in nature is the
    Fibonacci Sequence;
    • Leonardo of Pisa introduced this
    number sequence and also the
    Hindu-Arabic Numeral System from
    India to the West in 1202 with his
    book “Liber Abaci”.
    Fibonacci Sequence
    • It is a number sequence defined by the recurrence equation:

    Fn  Fn1  Fn2
    where F1  F2  1

    Aside from the visual representation, if we are
    going to get the ratio of the smaller Fibonacci
    number to the term next to it…
    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377,
    610, 987, 1597, …
    … the computed value will be closer and closer
    to:
      1.618033988749895
    Fibonacci Sequence

      1.618033988749895
    This is called the Phi Coefficient or
    the Golden Ratio
    WHERE COULD
    WE FIND THE
