Who is Fibonacci?
Are you interested to know the person who discovered a sequence of
numbers and why he is differently known from his real name?
The breeding of rabbits led to his discovery of the numbers in the Fibonacci
sequence. Let us try to discover it too. However, certain conditions are to be
observed as follows:
1. Start with a baby male and a baby female rabbit (Generation 0 or G0).
2. This pair will mature in Generation 1 (G1) and can reproduce a pair in
Generation 2 (G2).
3. This sequence continues, as in the illustration that follows.
���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� 3 4 ���� ���� ���� ���� ����
���� ���� ���� ���� ���� 5 5 ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ����
���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� 8 Listing
the number of pairs in a sequence, we have
1+1 1+2 2+3 3+5 5+8 8+13 13+21 21+34
___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___,
___, ___, ___, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____,
_____ Have you written the sequence correctly? I hope you do.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Using the first ten (10) numbers in the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,
21, 34, 55 as dimensions of adjacent squares, you can create a Fibonacci spiral.
When arranged in a certain way, the Fibonacci sequence creates a special spiral
pattern. 1

Can you make your Fibonacci spiral using the first ten numbers in the
Fibonacci sequence differently from the example?

Fibonacci numbers are present on the spirals that appear on the skin of pineapples
and pine cones. The number of spirals found in them belongs to the Fibonacci
numbers.
