Patterns and Numbers in Nature and The World

1) The document discusses the Fibonacci sequence, which is the series of numbers where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two numbers. 2) It provides examples of how the Fibonacci sequence appears in nature, such as the spiral pattern of sunflower seeds and pinecones. 3) The ratio of adjacent Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio, approximately 1.618, which has aesthetic significance in art and architecture.

Question :“If 2 new born rabbits are put in a


pen, how many rabbits will be in the pen after
one year?”
Assume that rabbits...
... always produce one male and one female offspring
. ... can reproduce once every month.
... can reproduce when they are one month old.
... never die!

mathematics he learned.

• How many rabbits are there on the 13th


month? 14th month?

• Can you state the rule on how to get a term of


the sequence?
Fibonacci Sequence
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of
numbers:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
The next number is found by adding up
the two numbers before it.

The most common such problem is that of
counting the number of compositions of 1s and 2s
that sum to a given total n: there are Fn+1 ways to
do this.
Determine the number of compositions of 1s
and 2s that sum up to 5.
Ans. F6 = 8 compositions
