A Brief History

Fibonacci was born in Pisa, Italy in 1170 and died in 1250. He was best known for being a mathematician and his Fibonacci numbers.

Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers; the first five are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3... To determine the next number in the sequence, add the previous number to the current number to get the next number.
These numbers often appear in nature. For instance, the number of some plants' leaves are Fibonacci numbers. An example of this is the Black Eyed Susan (13 petals) and the White Calla Lilly (1 petal), just to name a few. These numbers also appear in every day life; when you count the spirals of a pineapple, you will find that it is a Fibonacci number. Other things that are a Fibonacci numbers are the presidential canidates (2), the number of fingers (5), your heart (1), the number of meals you eat a day (3), and more. In addition, the number of bunnies that are produced at a time is a Fibonacci number (Click here to see the bunnies)
