THE
RANDOM FIBONACCI SEQUENCE What is a Fibonacci sequence ?
In mathematics, the random
Fibonacci sequence is a stochastic analogue of the Fibonacci sequence defined by
𝑓n =𝑓n-1 ± 𝑓n-2 , where the signs +

By a theorem of Harry Kesten and Hillel Furstenberg, random recurrent sequences of this kind grow at a certain exponential rate, but it is difficult to compute the rate explicitly. In 1999, Divakar Viswanath showed that the growth rate of the random Fibonacci sequence is equal to 1.1319882487943... (sequence A078416 in the OEIS), a mathematical constant that was later Fibonacci sequence generates mathematical patterns that can be found in all aspects of life.
Ex: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,
55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181 and so on…….
These numbers are obtained by
adding the two previous numbers Origin of the Fibonacci sequence It is believed that the contribution to the theory of Fibonacci sequence began in 200 BC by Indian Mathematician Pingala. The sequence was introduced to the Western Mathematics in 1202 by Leonardo of Pisa, aka Fibonacci Fibonacci sequence in Thesunflowers Fibonacci sequence can be seen in the nature such as sunflower head’s seed arrangement. The arrangement of seeds are based upon the golden mean which corresponds to the golden Fibonacci sequence in flower petals In most of the flower petal patterns such as daisies have 34, 55 or 89 petals ie. The 9th, 10th and 11th numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonacci sequence in seashells The numbers form the Fibonacci sequence directly corresponds to the spiral found in seashells. These numbers are called ‘Fibonacci rectangles’ or ‘Golden rectangles’. These rectangles are unique because each rectangle has sides equal to the length of the Fibonacci series. Within this rectangle we can create a spiral with cross sections equal to exactly 1.618 Thank You
