The life and numbers of Fibonacci by R.Knott and the Plus team
In the 13th century, mathematician, Leonardo di Pisa, or, as he is known by his nickname, Fibonacci, traveled to northern Africa and learned about numbering systems other than Roman. Although he brought these other systems (Hindu and Arabic) to Europe in his book, Liber Abaci (Book of Calculations), he was more famous for introducing a sequence of numbers. This article illustrates the Fibonacci numbers with examples of sunflowers, rabbits, bees, and the nautilus shell. To explain: a number is added to the number before it to get the next Fibonacci number, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc.
