In terms of math, the sequence isn't too hard to get your head around. In short, each number is the sum of the two numbers that preceded it. So 0+1 = 1, 1+1 = 2, 2+1 =3, 3+5 = 8, 5+8 = 13, 8+13 ...

If you select any three numbers in a row from a Fibonacci sequence, you’ll find the same pattern. Let’s define Fn as any number in the sequence, and then define (n-1) as the number positioned just ...

A Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. Here, he uses the simple pattern of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and 21.

In the West, however, it would take a few more centuries for the sequence to turn up – and when it did, it wasn’t as a result of simple addition. In fact, it had more to do with multiplication ...

When Fibonacci introduced what would become an eponymous sequence, he did so using rabbits as an analogy. Breeding pairs of rabbits are able to multiply within their ranks infinitely ...

A Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points on a stock chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%.

When the eccentricity is low, things are less simple. McDuff and Schlenk’s 2012 paper calculated the radius of the smallest ball that could fit various ellipsoids. Their solution resembled an infinite ...

Using not one but two patterns, thanks to the Fibonacci sequence, can give the qubits an extra layer of protection. Until now, Dumitrescu, that hadn’t been tried in a quantum computer.

As the terms in a Fibonacci sequence get larger, the ratio of each term to the one preceding it gets closer and closer to the golden ratio – approximated to 1.61803 by the first few places in ...

Humpback whales created a mesmerizing Fibonacci spiral of bubbles to capture fish in Antarctica Your teacher was right – math is everywhere, and it turns out that even whales use it.
