The Fibonacci sequence is a The first few numbers
series of numbers where in the sequence are
each number is the sum of
the two preceding ones, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,
typically starting with 0 and

What is the Fibonacci


sequence?
It is present in the overall
The Fibonacci sequence appears in universe
various fields, including
mathematics, computer science, Scientists have found that
and nature, often related to growth the distribution of stars in
patterns and structures. the spiral arms of galaxies
follows a pattern known
as the Fibonacci spiral.
The sequence was known in Indian mathematics long before Fibonacci's time. It appears in ancient Indian
texts, such as the work of the mathematician Pingala (around 200 BC) and later in the writings of
Virahanka and Gopala in the 7th century.

Fibonacci's contribution was significant because he popularized the sequence in Europe


Fibonacci sequence i
Pineapple
The Fibonacci sequence is often
seen in the arrangement of the
scales on a pineapple. If you
examine a pineapple closely, you'll
notice that the number of spirals in
each direction—clockwise and
counterclockwise—typically
corresponds to Fibonacci numbers
Count the spirals of the scales. Yo
may find that the counts of
clockwise and counterclockwise
spirals are often two consecutive
Fibonacci numbers (e.g., 8
clockwise and 13
The Fibonacci sequence can also
be related to the overall growth
patterns of the pineapple plant. It
allows for optimal growth as the
plant develops, ensuring that
leaves and fruit can maximize
sunlight exposure and nutrient
Fibonacci Sequence in
flowers
Many flowers have a number of
petals that corresponds to
Fibonacci numbers.

For example:
Lilies have 3 petals (Fibonacci:
2).
Buttercups have 5 petals.
Daisies can have 34, 55, or even
89 petals.

In flowers like sunflowers and


daisies, the seeds are often
arranged in spirals that follow
Fibonacci numbers.
It helps each leaf to receive adequate
sunlight without overlapping,
enhancing photosynthesis.

The symmetrical and proportionate


arrangements derived from Fibonacci
patterns contribute to the visual
appeal of flowers, which can attract
pollinators.
The arrangement of elements in the painting can be aligned with a
Fibonacci spiral, which is often used as a compositional tool to create
dynamic and pleasing visuals.

These elements contribute to the painting's enduring appeal and intrigue,

Thanjavur Temple by Raja Raja Chola I

Its layout and proportions exhibit principles of the


golden ratio. The design of the temple's vimana (the
tower over the sanctum) and the overall symmetry
of the structure align with these mathematical
concepts
This temple serves as a prime example of how
the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio
have been integrated into Indian architecture,
enhancing both beauty and structural integrity.
