THE FIBONACCI
SEQUENCE
WHAT IS FIBONACCI SEQUENCE?
The Fibonacci sequence, also known
as Fibonacci numbers, is defined as
the sequence of numbers in which
each number in the sequence is equal
to the sum of two numbers before it.
The Fibonacci Sequence is given as:
Fibonacci Sequence = 0, 1, 1,
2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ….
FIBONACCI SQUENCE
FORMULA
The Fibonacci sequence of numbers “Fn” is defined using the recursive relation with the
seed values F0=0 and F1=1:
Fn = Fn-1+Fn-2
Here, the sequence is defined using two different parts, such as kick-off and
recursive relation.
The kick-off part is F0=0 and F1=1.
The recursive relation part is Fn = Fn-1+Fn-2.
It is noted that the sequence starts with 0 rather than 1. So, F5 should be the 6th term of
the sequence.
FIBONACCI
Also known as Leonardo
Bonacci, Leonardo of Pisa, or
Leonardo Bigollo Pisano.
Was an Italian
mathematician from the
Republic of Pisa.
Considered to be “the most
talented western
mathematician of the Middle
Ages”.
ORIGIN OG FIBONACCI

Fibonacci Sequence was
discovered after an
investigation on the
reproduction of rabbits
GROWING POPULATION OF
RABBITS
Problem: Suppose a newly-
born pair of rabbits(one male,
one female) are put in a field.
Rabbits are able to mate at
the age of one month so that
at the end of the secobd
month, a female can produce
another pair of rabbits.

THE GOLDEN RATION TO
CALCULATE FIBONACCI NUMBERS
The Fibonacci Sequence is closely
related to the value of the Golden
Ratio. We know that the Golden Ratio
value is approximately equal to
1.618034.
It is denoted by the symbol “φ”. If we
take the ratio of two successive
Fibonacci numbers, the ratio is close
to the Golden ratio.
THE GOLDEN RATION
The golden ratio can be
expressed as the ratio
between two numbers.

=
b a
