Word: Fibonacci sequence Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Named after the Italian mathematician later known as Fibonacci (c.1175 – c.1250), who introduced the sequence to a European readership in his 1202 book Liber Abaci. 1. The sequence of integers, each of which is the sum of the preceding two, the first and second numbers both being 1. Example: If the Fibonacci sequence is chosen for the quasiperiodic direction of a 1D QC,^([quasicrystal]) it may simply be called a Fibonacci phase. Example: The number of adult rabbit pairs being present in consecutive months is then given by the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... (every term is the sum of its two predecessors). This work can be seen as the very beginning of mathematical biology, though one has to admit that the Fibonacci sequence exerts a greater fascination for number theorists than for reproductive biologists. 2. Any sequence of numbers such that each is the sum of the preceding two. Example: Indeed, these pairs belong to a Fibonacci sequence of what are called Lucas numbers that begins 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11,... Example: 2007, Anthony Nicolaides, Make The Grade At GCSE Mathematics, Higher Tier, P.A.S.S. Publications, 3rd Edition, page 169, 19. The first two terms of a Fibonacci sequence are a and b. Write out a few terms.
