=Fibonacci Picture= 1.Fibonacci's first name was Leonardo 2.Fibonacci actually was not the first to invent the Fibonacci sequence =Foxtrot= 3.Fibonacci introduced the decimal number system to Europe 4.Fibonacci lived from about 1175 to 1250(about 200 years after Leonardo da Vinci) 5.Fibonacci was also known as Leonardo of Pisa 1.Fibonacci traveled a lot 2.Fibonacci tried without success to introduce fractions 3.The Fibonacci sequence is also called "Suite of Fibonacci" 4.Fibonacci introduced the Hindu-Arabic (decimal) number system through his book "Liber Abbaci 5."Liber Abbaci" translates to "Book of Calculators" 1.Indians first discovered the Fibonacci sequence 2.The Fibonacci sequence is also found in the Triangle of Pascal 3.Fibonacci did all already-complicated calculations in base 60! 4.A pentagram with the 4 colored line segments: The purple+blue, blue+green, and green+red segments make up the golden ratio. 5.The Fibonacci sequence is linked to the golden ratio because taking the ratio of 2 sequential #'s in the Fibonacci sequence approximates the golden ratio. =Pentagram = 5.The Fibonacci sequence also appears in nature =Fibonacci sequence= 1.Another name that Fibonacci used was Bigollo 2.His father's name was Guilielmo 3.Fibonacci helped Guilielmo in business 4.He began his most famous mathematical work in 1200 A.D. 5.Fibonacci also ended his travels in the same year 1.Fibonacci wrote Practia geometriae, Flos, and Liber quadratorum as well as Liber Abbaci 2.One problem in "Flos" that Fibonacci solves (with no apparent reasoning) is x cubed + x squared + 10x=20 3.Fibonacci learned that the earth was round, that the moon only reflected light, and the correct cause of eclipses 4.Though, the earth was still proposed to be the center of the universe in his time 5.Fibonacci traveled mostly by ship 1.Fibonacci impressed the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick the second 2.Fibonacci worked in base 60 3.He found a way to find whole # right triangles 4.We don't know when he died 5.He was taught in Latin 1.Fibonacci's father was called Guilielmo 2.Fibonacci helped his father in business 3.Fibonacci began his famous mathematical work in 1200 4.Fibonacci wrote Practica Geometriae 5.Fibonacci also wrote Flos 1.Fibonacci didn't actually invent the Fibonacci sequence 2.Leonardo Fibonacci... 3.Fibonacci lived about 200 years from Leonardo Da Vinci 4.Leonard of Pisa... 5.The emperor gave Fibonacci an annual salary so he did not have to work. 6.He travelled around the Mediterranean !.Leonardo __Da__ Pisa... @.Fibonacci found that x cubed + 2x squared + 10x = 20 is 1 + (22 divided by 60) + (7 divided by (60 squared) + (42 divided by (60 cubed) 33, 40, 4 (in which 60 is raised to higher powers $.Pisa built ships and made iron. %.The Fibonacci sequence originated from a rabbit math problem that Fibonacci made. ^.The golden ratio relates closely to the Fibonacci sequence. &.Fibonacci is short for Filius Bonacci (.Fibonacci's greatest achievement in # theory was finding how to solve 2-variable equations. ).Fibonacci never called himself Fibonacci!
