I thought that this mathematical relationship was discovered in the 13th century by Fibonacci (called the Fibonacci series or sequence) ?

It's also heavily used in finance to analyze economic cycles.

Sea shells follow the Fibonacci series which results from adding the two previous numbers (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...), making the space between spirals ever greater.

The Archimedes' spiral is actually simpler (1,2,3,4,5,6,7...), with a constant distance between spirals.
