1. Fibonacci Sequence
In 1202, two years after finally settling in Pisa, Fibonacci produced his most famous book, Liber abaci - the book of the Calculator. ... Next he prepared a thesis on series from which was derived what is now called the Fibonacci series. ... The first is that if one finds the ratios of the successive numbers, the results converge on 1.618, thus: 1/1=1, 2/1=2, 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.67, 8/5=1.6 The second is when one follows next equations, the Fibonacci numbers become apparent: µ1=1.618, µ2=( µ*1)+1, µ3=( µ*2)+1, µ4=( µ*3)+2, µ5=( µ*5)+3, and so on. ... Now that the link betwee...
