Fibonacci sequence
 It is series of numbers that follow a unique integer sequence.
 Inventedby Leonardo Fibonacci.
 It is closely related to Lucas numbers and Golden Ratio.
 The Fibonacci numbers are 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,etc.
How does the Fibonacci sequence
work
 The numbers of the series are obtained by adding the two previous
numbers in the sequence to obtain the next higher number.
 Example: 1+1=2,1+2=3,3+2=5,5+8=13,etc.
 Formulais: An=An-1+An-2 for n>=3 where :
An is term number "n“
An-1 is the previous term (n-1)
An-2 is the term before that (n-2)
A1=A2=1
 When we take any two successive (one after the other) Fibonacci
Numbers, their ratio is very close to the GOLDEN RATIO (1.618034).
Golden Ratio
 The golden ratio (symbol is the Greek letter "phi(φ)) is a special number
approximately equal to 1.618
 It can also be calculates as 2 x Sin (54 degree)
 It appears many times in geometry, art, architecture and other areas.
 The ratio of each successive pair of numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence
converge on the golden ratio as we go higher in the sequence.
3/2 = 1.5
5/3 = 1.66666666666666…
8/5 = 1.6
3/8 = 1.625
21/13 = 1.61538461538462…
34/21 = 1.61904761904762…
55/34 = 1.61764705882353…
89/55 = 1.61818181818182…
Applications Of Golden Ratio
Architecture
Painting

Nature
Aesthetics
Perceptual Studies
Do you know?
 Fibonacci numbers frequently appear in the numbers of petals in
a flower and in the spirals of plants.
 The positions and proportions of the key dimensions of many animals are
based on Phi(φ).
 The diameters of the Earth and Moon form a triangle whose dimensions
are based on the mathematical characteristics of phi. The distances of
the planets from the sun correlate surprisingly closelyto exponential
powers of Phi(φ).
 Golden Ratio is used in the design of the Apple logo!!!
Golden Ratio is Everywhere!!!
Fibonacci Day?
 NOVEMBER 23. WHY?
 11/23
 1 1 2 3
