How is the Fibonacci sequence useful?

The Fibonacci sequence mathematically proves that nature isn't random it follows a pattern. However there are exceptions like most things.


What was Fibonacci's famous mathematical invention?

Fibonacci is most famous for his description of the number sequence, which in the 19th century was given the name 'Fibonacci numbers' . The sequence is made by starting with two ones, and adding them up, then to make every new term, the previous two terms need to be added together.


Why is the Fibonacci sequence the most famous sequence?

It is a famous sequence but it is not the most famous sequence.It is famous because, despite its simplicity, its elements can be found all over nature: from the spirals in the seeds of a pine cone or sunflower, to shell spirals, and the number of leaves per turn.


Why did Fibonacci create the Fibonacci Sequence?

I think Fibonacci wanted to find how many swirls or petals were on a flower ....... most of them are Fibonacci numbers....i think.... doin a projct......= )


What was Fibonacci famous for?

Fibonacci was most famous for his contribution to mathematics, specifically the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci Sequence is as follows: Start with the numbers 0 and 1, add them together you get 1, then add 1 and 1 together you get 2, then add 2 and 1 together you get 3 then add 3 and 2, 5, then 5 and 3, 8, then 8 and 5, 13 and soon below is all the Fibonacci numbers upto 233, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233... In other words each number is a result of the two previous numbers added together. The significance of this is that the higher you get in the sequence, you can divide a number and its previous number and that will give you a number close to the golden ratio (a special number that is used very frequently in mathematics, usually designated by the letter "e"). Fibonacci, or Leonard of Piza, was perhaps the western world's most exalted mathematician of the middle ages. He is best known nowadays for the discovery of the Fibonacci Series -- a series that occurs throughout nature. In this series, every new number is the result of the sum of the previous two numbers. Like this: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 ... Many things in nature are related to Fibonacci series. No. of petals in any flower is a Fibonacci no., No. of steps in a round stair-case is a Fibonacci no., etc

Why did Leonardo Fibonacci became famous?

Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician, who learned some of the 13th century mathematics used in Arab and Indian countries, and taught them to to European mathematicians.
