From there, mathematicians can calculate what’s called the golden spiral, or a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor equals the golden ratio.
The bigger the pair of Fibonacci numbers, the closer the approximation. The ratio of any two successive Fibonacci Numbers approximates the Golden Ratio value ( φ = 1.6180339887…).
This is represented by the Greek letter (φ). There is a special relationship between the Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio, a ration that describes when a line is divided into two parts and the longer part (a) divided by the smaller part (b) is equal to the sum of (a) + (b) divided by (a), which both equal 1.618. After two years, the number would jump to 46,368 pairs! After 12 months there will be 144 pairs of rabbits. The total number of rabbits follows the Fibonnaci sequence. This leaves three pairs of rabbits, two of which will give birth to two more pairs the following month. In month three the original pair of rabbits produce another pair of newborns while their earlier offspring grow to adulthood. By the end of the second month, the first pair give birth, now leaving two pairs of rabbits. After the first month only the original pair remains since rabbits can’t reproduce until they a¬re at least one month old. ¬At the start, two newborn rabbits are placed in a fenced-in yard and left to breed. This thought experiment artificially dictates that the female rabbits always give birth to pairs consisting of one male and one female. In the book, Leonardo pondered the question: Given ideal conditions, how many pairs of rabbits could be produced from a single pair of rabbits in one year? The answer, it turns out, is 144 ¬- and the relationship used to obtain that answer is, you guessed it, the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonacci lived in the days before printing, so his books were hand written and the only way to have a copy of one of his books was to have another hand-written copy made.
There he wrote a number of important texts which played an important role in reviving ancient mathematical skills and he made significant contributions of his own. Fibonacciįibonacci ended his travels around the year 1200 and at that time he returned to Pisa. There, when I had been introduced to the art of the Indians’ nine symbols through remarkable teaching, knowledge of the art very soon pleased me above all else and I came to understand it, for whatever was studied by the art in Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Provence, in all its various forms. When my father, who had been appointed by his country as public notary in the customs at Bugia acting for the Pisan merchants going there, was in charge, he summoned me to him while I was still a child, and having an eye to usefulness and future convenience, desired me to stay there and receive instruction in the school of accounting. Fibonacci writes in his famous book Liber abaci (1202). Fibonacci was taught mathematics in Bugia and travelled widely with his father and recognised the enormous advantages of the mathematical systems used in the countries they visited. The town lies at the mouth of the Wadi Soummam near Mount Gouraya and Cape Carbon. Bejaia is a Mediterranean port in northeastern Algeria. His father’s job was to represent the merchants of the Republic of Pisa who were trading in Bugia, later called Bougie and now called Bejaia. Fibonacci was born in Italy but was educated in North Africa where his father, Guilielmo, held a diplomatic post.
