A Short Biography of Fibonacci

Fibonacci Sketch by Kristin Palm


Also referred to as Leonard of Pisa, Fibonacci was an Itallian number theorist. It is
believed that Fibonacci was born in 1170 (approximately) and that he died in 1250.
Fibonacci was born in Italy but obtained his education in North Africa.
However, Fibonacci is considered to be one of the most talented mathematicians for the
Middle Ages. Few people realize that it was Fibonacci that gave us our decimal number
system (Hindu-Arabic numbering system) which replaced the Roman Numeral system.
When he was studying mathematics, he used the Hindu-Arabic (0-9) symbols instead of
Roman symbols which didn't have 0's .
The Fibonacci Sequence which is what he remains famous for to this day. The
sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55... This sequence, shows that each number is
the sum of the two preceding numbers. It is a sequence that is seen and used in many
different areas of mathematics and science.
Contributions
Fibonacci is famous for his contributions to number theory.

In his book, Liber abaci he introduced the Hindu-Arabic place-valued decimal


system and the use of Arabic numerals into Europe.
He introduced us to the bar we use in fractions, previous to this, the numerator
has quotations around it.
The square root notation is also a Fibonacci method.

It has been said that the Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system and apply to
the growth of living things, including cells, petals on a flower, wheat, honeycomb, pine
cones and much more.
His Books:
Liber Abbaci (The Book of Calculation), 1202 (1228)
Practica Geometriae (The Practice of Geometry), 1220
Liber Quadratorum (The Book of Square Numbers), 1225
Flos (The Flower), 1225

Cita el ttulo de tres libros escritos por Fibonacci. ________________________

1.- Traza un rectngulo cuyos lados midan 8 y 21. Recrtalo por las marcas que se
muestran en la figura.
Con las piezas que queden construye un cuadrado cuyo lado mida 13
. Calcula el rea del rectngulo. Calcula el rea del cuadrado
Son iguales las reas?
Qu est sucediendo? es correcto el resultado que obtuviste?
Tendr algo que ver que 8, 13 y 21 sean nmeros consecutivos de la sucesin de
Fibonacci?

2.- Toma una hoja de papel cuadriculado. Recorta cuadrados de lado 1,1,2,3,5,8,13
Traza un cuarto de circunferencia en cada cuadrado, como se indica en la figura.
Recorta los cuadrados y colocalos en espiral. Tendrs la espiral de Fibonacci o espiral
de oro.
