Leonardo Fibonacci
• Fibonacci was Italian Mathematician
who
discovered a very special
sequence of numbers that
is
known as the Fibonacci sequence.
The Fibonacci sequence is
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,….
• Basically when we add 2 consecutive
numbers starting at 0, we get a new
number.
• These sequences are found everywhere
in nature, humans, music and art.
Pines Cones
• Pines cones show excellent Fibonacci
sequence. Here (next slide) there are 8
clockwise spirals (both Fibonacci
numbers). If you look at pinecone from
the side, each level has a certain
numbers of scales that match
Fibonacci numbers
• Garden daisies usually have 34 petals. Other
types of daisies have 55 or 89 petals. All
these numbers are Fibonacci numbers
Another flower example
This is a coneflower. The numbers of spirals in the
flower head going clockwise and anticlockwise are
consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
Vegetables and Fruits
Broccoli and Cauliflower are the main
two vegetables that show the Fibonacci
sequence in the spiraling of the florets.
Some fruits also show the Fibonacci
sequence such that star fruit,
pineapples and dragonfruit.
Piano & Fibonacci
You will be amazed to know that a
Fibonacci sequence lies in keys of
the Piano
The Fibonacci sequence in
Sea Shells
The Fibonacci Spirals directly
correspond to the spirals found in sea
shells.
