• Fibonacci sequence
As we have seen in the previous section, the human mind is
hardwired to recognize patterns. In mathematics, we can
generate patterns by performing one or several mathematical
operations repeatedly. Suppose we choose the number 3 as the
first number in our pattern. We then choose to add 5 to our
first number, resulting in 8, which is our second number.
Repeating this process, we obtain 13, 18, 23, 28, . . . as the
succeeding numbers that form our pattern. In mathematics,
we call these ordered lists of numbers a sequence.
• Sequence
-A sequence is an ordered list of
numbers, called terms that may have
repeated values. The arrangement of
these terms is set by a definite rule.
• EXAMPLE 1- Generating a Sequence
• Analyze the given sequence for its rule
and identify the next three terms.
• 1, 4, 9, 16
• 2, 5, 9, 14, 20
• Check Your Progress (PART 3)
• Analyze the given sequence for its rule and
identify the next three terms.

• The Fibonacci sequence. It is
named after the Italian
mathematician Leonardo of
Pisa, who was better known by
his nickname Fibonacci.
• Starting with 0 and 1, the succeeding terms in the sequence
can be generated by adding the two numbers that came
before the term:
