In art, the Fibonacci sequence frequently manifests in the form of the Golden Ratio, 1: 1.6 18033988. The spiral whorls of the sunflower also follows the progression of the Fibonacci sequence.įibonacci numbers are also useful in many areas of science and engineering, including computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distribution systems. Apart from the shell, other examples include the branching in trees, the arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruit sprouts of a pineapple, the flowering of an artichoke, the uncurling fern, the arrangement of a pine cone’s bracts and so on. These numbers seem fundamental to the way nature grow things. The result of this growth is a spiral, like the spiral of the famous nautilus shell. After the first two “ones”, the next number is simply obtained by adding the previous two numbers. In other words, follow the number sequence 1, 1, 2,3, 5, 8, 13, 21. Then, each time it outgrows its house, it adds another room to it, with a dimension that is the sum of the two previous rooms. Imagine that whoever created the nautilus shell gave it the following instructions for its growth – start with a little 1 x 1 square house. Perhaps the most pleasing pattern of the Fibonacci sequence in nature is that of the nautilus shell. Take, for example, the Fibonacci sequence, namely after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, later known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci. Best of all, we can visualize these patterns in pictures, and what stunning pictures they are!
Many number sequences are delightfully magical they follow beautiful patterns that seem to have been given by the gods.

Part of the beauty of mathematics is its mystique – and I don’t necessarily mean the incomprehensive terrains of math understood only by professional mathematicians.
