    The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. It begins with 1, 1, and continues as 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc. The sequence was discovered by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci while studying rabbit populations. It follows a definite pattern where each term is found by adding the two terms before it. This sequence appears throughout nature in patterns of flower petals and pinecones.

     The Fibonacci Sequence

    Sequence
    Sequence refers to an ordered list of numbers called terms, that
    may have repeated values. The arrangement of these terms is set
    by a definite rule.
    Cosider the given below example:
    Arithmetic sequence.
    It is a sequence of numbers that follows a definite pattern. To
    determine if the series of numbers follow an arithmetic sequence,
    check the difference between two consecutive terms.
    If common difference
    is observed, then definitely arithmetic sequence governed the
    pattern. To
    clearly illustrate the arrangement, consider the example below:
    Geometric sequence.
    If in the arithmetic sequence we need to check for
    the common difference, in geometric sequence we
    need to look for the common ratio. The illustrated in
    the example below, geometric sequence is not as
    obvious as the arithmetic sequence.
    Harmonic Sequence.
    In the sequence, the reciprocal of the
    terms behaved
    in a manner like arithmetic sequence.
    Consider the example below and
    notice an interesting pattern in the
    series.
    . With this pattern, the reciprocal
    appears like arithmetic sequence. Only
    in recognizing the appearance that
    we can finally decode the sequencing
    the govern the series.
    Fibonacci Sequence.
    This specific sequence was named after an
    Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano Bigollo
    (1170 - 1250). He discovered the
    sequence while he was studying rabbits
    The Fibonacci sequence is a series of
    numbers governed by some unusual
    arithmetic rule. The sequence is
    organized in a way a number can be
    obtained by adding the two previous
    numbers.
    Notice that the number 2 is actually the
    sum of 1 and 1. Also the 5th term
    which is number 5 is based on addition
    of the two previous terms 2, and 3.
    That is the kind of pattern being generated by the
    Fibonacci sequence. It is
    infinite in expanse and it was once purely maintained
    claim as a mathematical and mental exercise but later on
    the it was observed that the
    ownership of this pattern was also being claimed by some
    species of flowers,
    petals, pineapple, pine cone, cabbages and some shells.
    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …
    To explore a little bit more about the Fibonacci sequence,
    the location of
    the term was conventionally tagged as Fib( 𝑛).
    This means that Fib(1)=1,
    Fib(2)=1, Fib(3)=2 and Fib(4)=3.
    In this method, the Fib(𝑛) is actually
    referring to the the 𝑛th term of the sequence. It is also
    possible to make
    some sort of addition in this sequence.
    For instance:
    Fib (2) + Fib (6) = _?__
    Fib(2) refers to the 2nd term in the sequence
    which is “1”. And Fib(6) refers
    to the 6th term which is “8”. So, the answer to
    that equation is simply “9”
    Formula for computing for the nth
    term in the Fibonacci Sequence

    Where:
    Xn stands for the Fibonacci number we’re looking for
    N stands for the position of the number in the Fibonacci sequence
    Φ stands for the value of the golden ratio
    Let us try for example: What is the 5th
    Fibonacci number? By using the formula
    we’ll get:
    The amazing grandeur of Fibonacci sequence
    was also discovered in the
    structure of Golden rectangle. The golden
    rectangle is made up of squares
    whose sizes, surprisingly is also behaving
    similar to the Fibonacci sequence.
    Take a serious look at the figure:
    The Golden Ratio
    As we can see in the figure, there is no complexity in
    forming a spiral with the use of the golden rectangle
    starting from one of the sides of the first. Fibonacci square
    going to the edges of each of the next squares. This golden
    rectangle shows that the Fibonacci sequence is not only
    about sequence of
    numbers of some sort but it is also a geometric sequence
    observing a rectangle ratio. The spiral line generated by
    the ratio is generously scattered
    around from infinite to infinitesimal.
