Fibonacci Numbers

Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who discovered the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. The Fibonacci sequence begins with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. This creates a pattern of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc. The ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio as the numbers grow large. Fibonacci was inspired to study this sequence by considering the theoretical breeding population of rabbits.

Numbers

Who is Fibonacci

Fibonacci an Italian number


theorist/mathematician
Who was most talented of
his time
Discovery of Fibonacci numbers
Define Fibonacci numbers

A series of whole numbers in which each number is the


sum of the two preceding numbers. Beginning with 0
and 1, the sequence of Fibonacci numbers would be
0,1,1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. using the formula n =
n(-1) + n(-2), where the n(-1) means "the last number
before n in the series" and n(-2) refers to "the second
last one before n in the series."
First 30 Fibonacci numbers and
their patterns
 First 30 Fibonacci numbers:0,1,1,2,3,5,8,12,34,55,89,144
,233,377,610, 987,
1597,2584,4181,6765,10946,17711,2865,46368,75025,1
21393,196418, 317811 ,514229,832040.
 Pattern :you must add the 2 numbers before to get the
current number
 Ex:1+1=2,1+2=3
The Fibonacci
sequence
 0,1,1,2,3,5…are the
Fibonacci
Numbers
 The pattern is that the
sum of the last to digits
make the next number
Add alternate Fibonacci numbers
with 1,2 compare both result

0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21
1,2,3,5,8,13,21
The comparison shows us that they
both are the same except the first 2
numbers
Table of first 30 Fibonacci
numbers
 The first 30 Fibonacci numbers: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,12,34,55,89,144 ,233,377,610,
987, 1597,2584,4181,6765,10946,17711,2865,46368,75025,121393,196418,
317811 ,514229,832040
 Patterns
 Every 3 term is a multiple of 2
 Every 4 term is a multiple of 3
 Every 5 term is a multiple of 4
 Every 6 term is a multiple of 5
Rabbit
Problem
 The original problem that Fibonacci
investigated (in the year 1202) was
about how fast rabbits could breed in
ideal circumstances.
 Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits,
one 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
produce another pair of rabbits.
Suppose that our rabbits never die
and that the female always produces
one new pair (one male, one female)
every month from the second month
on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed
was...
The golden ratio

 The Golden ratio is a special number


found by dividing a line into two parts so
that the longer part divided by the smaller
part is also equal to the whole length
divided by the longer part. It is often
symbolized using phi, after the 21st letter
of the Greek alphabet. In an equation
form, it looks like this:
 a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420
…a/b = (a+b)/a =
1.6180339887498948420 …
