![]() The number inside each of the squares illustrate the side length of the square. This visualization of the Fibonacci sequence is amazing. What if we make squares with those numbers in the sequence as widths and fit them side to side? That is enough to introduce the number sequence. ![]() If you are interested in Hemachandra’s question on rhythm patterns, I recommend watching the below 12 mins YouTube video of Fields Medal winner, mathematician Manjul Bhargava’s explaining this.Ĭonsidering the digits “1, 1, 2, 3” of the sequence, November 23rd has marked as the Fibonacci Day. Because of this reason, some are naming the Fibonacci sequence as Hemachandra’s sequence. But this has happened around 1150, about fifty years before F ibonacci (1202). He has described a number of sequences when presenting the solution to this question on rhythm patterns which was exactly the Fibonacci sequence. “ How many rhythm patterns with a given total length can be formed from short and long syllables?” Here, it’s worth saying something about Acharya Hemachandra who was an Indian Jain mathematician who lived between 10. “Fibonacci” was his nickname, which roughly means “Son of Bonacci”.įibonacci’s problem on finding the growth of a population of rabbits with some assumptions was a biologically unrealistic scenario, where he used this sequence for the calculations and also it is the first time this sequence appears in a book ( Liber Abaci (1202)).Īnyhow the history of The Fibonacci sequence is running to Indian mathematics from 1200 BC. Leonardo Pisano Bogollo was an Italian mathematician and he lived between 11 in the Republic of Pisa. X 1 = X 2 =1 and for each n > 2, X n = X n-1 + X n-2 Where n is a natural number. The Fibonacci sequence is an infinite series of numbers starting with 1, and then again 1 then continue as the next number is the addition of the previous two numbers. This name “Fibonacci sequence” was first used by a French mathematician Édouard Lucas. Starting from introducing the number sequence, The Fibonacci Sequence. ![]() I would like to say that you would find this number in a small seashell as well as in a giant spiral galaxy. Let me introduce a natural number sequence and a unique number that plays one of the main roles in the beauty of nature. Have you ever heard about nature’s most astonishing number?
