    In 1202, Leonardo Fibonacci introduced the Fibonacci sequence to the western world with his book Liber Abaci. [5] Fibonacci presented a thought experiment on the growth of an idealized rabbit population. [6] Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) pointed out the presence of the Fibonacci sequence in nature, using it to explain the pentagonal form of ...

  3. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers , commonly denoted F n .

  4. Phyllotaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis

    The numerator and denominator normally consist of a Fibonacci number and its second successor. The number of leaves is sometimes called rank, in the case of simple Fibonacci ratios, because the leaves line up in vertical rows. With larger Fibonacci pairs, the pattern becomes complex and non-repeating. This tends to occur with a basal configuration.

    The Fibonacci sequence is frequently referenced in the 2001 book The Perfect Spiral by Jason S. Hornsby. A youthful Fibonacci is one of the main characters in the novel Crusade in Jeans (1973). He was left out of the 2006 movie version, however. The Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio are briefly described in John Fowles's 1985 novel A Maggot.

    In July 2017, in an interview with Joe Rogan, Maynard described his thoughts on the song; "...in a way a song like Lateralus with the Fibonacci thing, I feel like I kind of pulled a very pedestrian, sophomoric move by including those numbers in there because in general music is the Fi ratio. Everything that all nature, all these things we’re ...

    A Fibonacci sequence of order n is an integer sequence in which each sequence element is the sum of the previous elements (with the exception of the first elements in the sequence). The usual Fibonacci numbers are a Fibonacci sequence of order 2.

  9. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. [3] The first few Lucas numbers are 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349, ... .
