Fibonacci is known among mathematicians for a curious succession Number:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 ....
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 ....
Let these numbers in detail. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 ....
is easy to see that each term is the sum of the two. But there is another curious relationship between them, the ratio between each term and the previous one is moving ever closer to a very special, as known to the Greeks and applied in his sculptures and temples, the golden ratio. = 1.618039 ....
But the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence will surprise all biologists.
As well phyllotaxy teaches us, the branches and leaves of plants are distributed searching always receive maximum light for each of them. So any piece comes right at the previous vertical. The distribution of leaves around the stem of plants produced following sequences based solely on these numbers.
The number of spirals in many flowers and fruits are also consistent with consecutive pairs of terms of this succession: the sunflowers have 55 spirals in one direction and 89 in the other, or 89 and 144.
Daisies seeds present in the form of 21 and 34 spirals.
and any variety of pineapple has provided a number of spirals that matches two terms in the sequence of Fibonacci rabbits, 8 and 13, or 5 and 8.
the plant world seems to have programmed into their genetic codes terms growth of the Fibonacci sequence.
