The Sequence of Fibonacci Numbers

          The Sequence of Fibonacci Numbers Fibonacci numbers are a unique type of number. Each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. They start with 0 and 1. Let us find more about them. Fibonacci numbers were invented by Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1250). As I said before, they are the sum of the preceding two numbers. For ex.- 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34. Here 1=0+1, 2=1+1, 3= 1+3 and so on. The diagram will give you some idea about Fibonacci Numbers. Fibonacci Numbers in Nature Fibonacci Numbers can be found in nature too. You can see them in a Sunflower, Seashells, Petals of a Flower, Galaxies and even on our faces!                                                                                                                                                                                This is another example of Fibonacci Numbers in Nature                                     Fibonacci Numbers were also used by Leonardo Da Vinci when he drew Mona Lisa!
