Who was Fibonnaci?
Fibonacci, known in his day as Leonardo of Pisa, was an Italian mathematician who lived during the Middle Ages. He is widely regarded as the finest mathematician of his age, and although little is known about him, most of us use the contributions of Fibonacci to society every day. In addition to the classical sequence of numbers named after him, Fibonacci also brought the use of Arabic numerals to the West, along with the use of decimal points. These two math features are often taken for granted today, but they were revolutionary in the Middle Ages.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers which are mathematically related to each other. Many people know at least the first few numbers in the sequence, which begins with: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and continues with each number being the sum of the previous two numbers. The Fibonacci sequence is used to describe a number of phenomena, such as the golden ratio and the tendency of plants to grow in spirals, maximizing their efficiency in a neat Fibonacci sequence. It should be noted that Fibonacci did not discover this sequence, but he does deserve credit for introducing it to the West from India.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Not ‘creating/making/sharing’ right now with dad in the hospital/rehab, but I expect to have plenty of opportunities later ... looking forward to “doing something” creative! :-)
Happy New Year’s everyone!
I have been supposed to start knitting a scarf since Thanksgiving —I hope mentioning it here will “encourage” me to start it before next month, LOL!
The bad thing is that I want it to be thick and warm, so the thin yarn I bought won’t do—I need to buy some that is thicker.
Well, I guess that will encourage me to start and finish quickly, as I have used up all the corners where my yarn goes! Plus, it really is getting cold.
I wish everyone good fortune with their New Year’s resolutions and projects!
