THE FIBONNACI SEQUENCE AND GOLDEN RATIO


ACTIVITY NO. 2

Some may believe that mathematics was created to torture our brains or
that a nonsense number was created. Nature makes extensive use of
symbols such as numbers. Have you ever counted how many petals are on
a flower? You may believe that any number is possible, but you may be
surprised to learn that nature appears to favor specific sets of numbers such
as 1,2,3,5,8,13, which form a pattern known as the Fibonnaci Sequence.
Some Indian mathematicians, such as Pingala, Virahanka, and
Hemachandra, have already investigated this pattern of numbers. The
Fibonacci sequence is frequently associated with the golden ratio, a
proportion (roughly 1:1.6) that occurs frequently in nature and is used in
many fields of human endeavor. The Fibonacci sequence and the golden
ratio, among other things, are used to guide design for architecture,
websites, and user interfaces.

The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo Fibonacci. Leonardo


Pisano Bogollo, the discoverer otherwise was a well-known Italian
mathematician. Fibonacci numbers are well-known. Fibonacci Sequence
Bogollo's book was the first to address these issues. Liber Abaci, published
in 1202, describes the expansion of a rabbit population specific conditions.
The terms stipulated that to breed, a pair of rabbits was required, and
Each rabbit pair must mature after two months where they were prior to
breeding more rabbits. The female is then expected to have a litter of one
male and female rabbit. Under these circumstances, it was discovered that
in order to determine the total number of you add the rabbit pairs you have
for each month. The total number of pairs that were alive during the
previous two months - this pattern followed the Fibonacci sequence of

numbers sequence (Fractal Foundation, 2013). (Fractal Foundation, 2013).
The first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each
subsequent number equates to the previous number to the sum of the
previous two numbers. There are an infinite number of Fibonacci numbers,
and these numbers can be found all over the world.

Nature is purely mathematical. If you examine how a plant grows new


leaves. You would notice that it has stems and petals grows in a Fibonacci
pattern sequence. Plants are unaware that they are growing. This order is
followed. Plants instead grow in new leaves in the most efficient way
possible and petals grow naturally between old but there is always enough
space for one more leaf or petal to emerge. The world we are living today
are mathematical mysteries of nature.
