Fibonacci

The Fibonacci Sequence is a numerical pattern where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms, starting with 0 and 1. It has applications in nature, art, computer science, and finance, with interesting properties such as the ratio of consecutive numbers approaching the Golden Ratio. The sequence can be expressed mathematically with the formula Fn=Fn−1+Fn−2.

📘 Concept Notes: Fibonacci Sequence

🔍 What is the Fibonacci Sequence?


The Fibonacci Sequence is a special number pattern where each term is the sum of the
two previous terms.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …0,\ 1,\ 1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 5,\ 8,\ 13,\ 21,\ 34,\ 55,\ 89,\ \dots

🧠 Key Rule
Fn=Fn−1+Fn−2F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}

Where:

●​ FnF_n = nth Fibonacci number​

●​ F0=0F_0 = 0, F1=1F_1 = 1 (starting values)​

Each new term is made by adding the two terms before it.

✅ Example: Finding the 7th Fibonacci Number


F0=0, F1=1⇒F2=1, F3=2, F4=3, F5=5, F6=8, F7=13F_0 = 0,\ F_1 = 1 \Rightarrow F_2 = 1,\
F_3 = 2,\ F_4 = 3,\ F_5 = 5,\ F_6 = 8,\ F_7 = \boxed{13}

📏 Fibonacci Sequence in Nature and Art


●​ 🌻 Number of petals in flowers​
●​ 🐚 Spiral shells (e.g., nautilus)​
●​ 🌿 Leaf arrangements on stems​
●​ 🖼️ Golden ratio in art and architecture​

🧩 Interesting Properties
●​ The ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio (≈ 1.618)​

●​ Often used in computer science, mathematics puzzles, and nature studies​

✨ Real-Life Applications
●​ Computer algorithms (e.g., recursion)​

●​ Nature patterns and growth​

●​ Financial market analysis (Fibonacci retracement)​

●​ Music and art compositions​

🧮 Optional Formula (for advanced students)


There’s a direct formula (called Binet’s Formula), but it’s not typically used for early
learners:

Fn=15[(1+52)n−(1−52)n]F_n = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \left[\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^n -


\left(\frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^n\right]
