Fibonacci sequence
- Integer Sequences
The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence whose elements are formed by adding the two preceding elements. Its numbers are commonly denoted Fn, and it may begin with F0 = 0, followed by 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8. First described in Indian mathematics, it was introduced to Western European mathematics by Leonardo of Pisa in Liber Abaci. Fibonacci numbers are closely related to the golden ratio and Lucas numbers.
