The fabulous Fibonacci numbers / by Posamentier, Alfred S.(CARDINAL)520341; Lehmann, Ingmar.(CARDINAL)463772;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 371-373) and index.The most ubiquitous, and perhaps the most intriguing, number pattern in mathematics is the Fibonacci sequence. In this simple pattern beginning with two ones, each succeeding number is the sum of the two numbers immediately preceding it (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ad infinitum). Far from being just a curiosity, this sequence recurs in structures found throughout nature - from the arrangement of whorls on a pinecone to the branches of certain plant stems. All of which is astounding evidence for the deep mathematical basis of the natural world.
