The Fibonacci numbers are also an example of a complete sequence.

This means
that every positive integer can be written as a sum of Fibonacci numbers, where
any one number is used once at most.the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci sequence are
the numbers in the following number integer

or (often, in modern usage):

The Fibonacci spiral: an approximation of the golden spiral created by drawing circular arcs
connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling; [3] this one uses squares of sizes
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34.

By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 1 and 1, or 0 and 1,
depending on the chosen starting point of the sequence, and each subsequent number is
the sum of the previous two.

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence

relation

The Fibonacci sequence is named after Fibonacci. His 1202 book Liber
Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics,[5]although
the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics.[6][7][8] By modern
convention, the sequence begins either with Fibonacci= 0 or with fibonacci= 1.
The Liber Abaci began the sequence with F1 = 1.
Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair
of Lucas sequences. They also appear in biological settings,[9] such as branching in
trees, phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit sprouts of a pineapple,[10] the
flowering of an artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.[11] Yellow

arrangements involving consecutive Fibonacci numbers appear in a wide variety of
plants.

Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings,[9] in two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, such
as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruitlets of a pineapple,[10] the
flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone,[11] and the family
tree of honeybees.[55] However, numerous poorly substantiated claims of Fibonacci numbers or
 golden sections in nature are found in popular sources, e.g.,
relating to the breeding of rabbits in Fibonacci's own unrealistic
example, the seeds on a sunflower, the spirals of shells, and the
curve of waves.[56]

Fibonacci numbers also appear in the pedigrees of idealized

honeybees, according to the following rules:

If an egg is laid by an unmated female, it hatches a male or drone bee.

If, however, an egg was fertilized by a male, it hatches a female.

Thus, a male bee always has one parent, and a female bee has two.

If one traces the pedigree of any male bee (1 bee), he has 1 parent (1 bee), 2 grandparents, 3
great-grandparents, 5 great-great-grandparents, and so on. This sequence of numbers of parents is
the Fibonacci sequence. The number of ancestors at each level, Fn, is the number of female
ancestors, which is Fn1, plus the number of male ancestors, which is Fn2.[60] This is under the
unrealistic assumption that the ancestors at each level are otherwise unrelated.

But the Golden Ratio (its symbol is the Greek letter Phi, shown at left) is an expert at not being
any fraction.

It is an Irrational Number (meaning we cannot write it as a simple fraction), but

more than that ... it is as far as we can get from being near any fraction.

A squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers The Fibonacci sequence appears
in Indian mathematics, in connection with Sanskrit prosody. Fibonacci considers the growth of an
idealized (biologically unrealistic) rabbit population, assuming that: 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 its second month a female can produce tiling with another pair of rabbits; rabbits never die and
a mating pair always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second
month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed was: how many pairs will there be in one year?

At the end of the first month, they mate, but there is still only 1 pair.

At the end of the second month the female produces a new pair, so now there are 2 pairs of
rabbits in the field.
 At the end of the third month, the original female produces a second pair, making 3 pairs in
all in the field.

At the end of the fourth month, the original female has produced yet another new pair, the
female born two months ago produces her first pair also, making 5 pairs.

The Fibonacci numbers are the sums of the

"shallow" diagonals (shown in red) of Pascal's triangle. We can create this sequence easily in a
spreadsheet, using the formula above. This has been done in the center column of
