SEQUENCE
A sequence is an ordered list of
numbers, called terms, that may have
repeated values. The arrangement of
these terms is set by a definite rule.

HISTORY
• The exact date of origin of
the Fibonacci sequence is
unknown.
• It is believed that
contributions to the theory
began in 200 BC by Indian
mathematicians whose
studies where based in the
language of Sanskrits.
GEC 4

HISTORY
• The sequence was introduced
to the Western European
mathematicians in 1202 by
Aka Fibonacci (famous as
the Leonardo of Pisa).
GEC 4

HISTORY
His real name was Leonardo
Pisano Bogollo, and he lived
between 1170 and 1250 in Italy.
“Fibonacci” was his nickname,
which roughly means “ Son of
Bonacci”.

HISTORY
He is said to have discovered
this sequence as he looked at
how a hypothesized group of
rabbits bred and reproduced
GEC 4

HISTORY
As well as being famous for
Fibonacci Sequence, he helped
spread Hindu-Arabic Numerals
(like our present numbers 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) through Europe
in place of Roman Numerals (I,
II, III, IV, V, etc.)

GOLDEN RATIO
It is also interesting to note that the ratios
of successive Fibonacci numbers approach
the number Φ (Phi), also known as the
Golden Ratio. This is approximately equal
to 1.618.
