Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who introduced the Hindu-Arabic decimal number system to Europe in 1202 with his book Liber Abaci. This system uses 10 symbols (0-9) in a positional notation, which was a significant improvement over the cumbersome Roman numeral system. Fibonacci's book helped popularize this new method of calculation in Europe and launched the modern use of the decimal number system. Fibonacci is also known for the Fibonacci sequence found in nature and described in Liber Abaci, where each number is the sum of the previous two.
This the power point presentation I made and used for my presentation in History of Math. Pardon me for not being able to cite ALL of my references through out the presentation. (one day I will). It is not detailed and perfect, but I am hoping that in a way, it may help you a hint on where to start to study about him and his works.
Information known about his life and SOME of his contributions will be found in this books. I merely focused on his first book, liber abbaci, so if you wish to see more of his contributions, look out for his other writings. (there are lots of articles online about him, just look for them and read them)
Fibonacci, the most famous mathematician from Pisa, Italy during the medieval period, is the man behind the fibonacci sequence and the popularization of the Hindu-Arabic Numeral System to Europe. Learn some things about him and his contributions through this.
Thank you :)
Fibonacci Sequence .
The Fibonacci Sequence is a definite pattern that can begin with either 0, 1 or 1, 1. The sequence is generated by adding the previous terms, so that 0 +1 equals 1, 1+1 equals 2, 2 + 1 equals 3, 2 + 3 equals 5, 5 + 3 equals 8, 8 + 5 equals 13, 13 + 8 equals 21, 21 + 13 equals 34, 34 + 21 equals 55, and so on. Fibonacci can be found in in every domain such as nature, art, infrastructure ,humans etc. .

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
3. Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who lived from
around 1170 to around 1250.
He spent most of his life in Pisa. When he was still a teenager, he
travelled to Bugia, in North Africa, to join his father who had gone
there to handle international trade for Pisa, then one of the major
Mediterranean commercial hubs.
While there, he observed Muslim traders using a remarkable method
for performing calculations. Instead of using finger-counting or a
physical counting-table, they wrote numbers on parchment using just
ten symbols, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and calculated by manipulating
the symbols according to certain rules.
4. On his return to Pisa, Leonardo wrote a mammoth book describing
this remarkable new way to write numbers and calculate with them, called
“Liber abbaci”, which translates from the Latin as “Book of Calculation”. (Not the
“book of the abacus”, spelt with one b.) Completed in 1202, this book is generally
credited with bringing the Hindu-Arabic number system and its arithmetic (as the
system is now known) to Europe, and launching the modern, Western-led,
commercial world.
5. Fibonacci's Mathematical Contributions
Introducing the Decimal Number system into Europe
He was one of the first people to introduce the Hindu-
Arabic number system into Europe - the positional system we
use today - based on ten digits with its decimal point and a
symbol for zero: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
His book on how to do arithmetic in the decimal system,
called Liber abbaci (meaning Book of the Abacus or Book of
Calculating) completed in 1202 persuaded many European
mathematicians of his day to use this "new" system.
6. The book describes (in Latin) the rules we all now learn at
elementary school for adding numbers, subtracting, multiplying
and dividing, together with many problems to illustrate the
methods:
1 7 4 + 1 7 4 - 1 7 4 x 1 7 4 ÷ 28
2 8 2 8 2 8 is
----- ----- -------
2 0 2 1 4 6 3 4 8 0 + 6 remainder 6
----- ----- 1 3 9 2
-------
4 8 7 2
-------
Let's first of all look at the Roman number system still in use in
Europe at that time (1200) and see how awkward it was for
arithmetic.
7. Roman Numerals
The Numerals are letters
The method in use in Europe until then used the Roman numerals:
I = 1,
V = 5,
X = 10,
L = 50,
C = 100,
D = 500 and
M = 1000
You can still see them used on foundation stones of old buildings and on some
clocks.
8. The Decimal Positional System
The system that Fibonacci introduced into Europe came from India and Arabia
and used the Arabic symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 with, most importantly, a
symbol for zero 0.
This decimal positional system, as we call it, uses the ten symbols of Arabic origin
and the "methods" used by Indian Hindu mathematicians many years before they
were imported into Europe. It has been commented that in India, the concept of
nothing is important in its early religion and philosophy and so it was much more
natural to have a symbol for it than for the Latin (Roman) and Greek systems.
10. The first edition of Liber abbaci has not survived.
Leonardo completed a second edition in 1228, and several copies exist
dating from the late 13th or early 14th centuries.
He wrote a shorter, simpler account of Hindu-Arabic arithmetic,
Libro di minor guisa (“Book in a smaller manner”) aimed at merchants,
which modern historians think was the work most responsible for
popularizing the new methods in Europe, but no copies have been
found.
11. Three other books survive:
Practica geometriae (1220) is a geometry textbook based on
Euclid’s writings,
Flos (1225) presents Leonardo’s solutions to a series of challenge
problems posed to him in a public display by a mathematician in
the Court of the Emperor Frederick II,and
Liber quadratorum (“Book of Squares”, 1225) is an impressive number
theory book which, among other things, examines methods to find
Pythagorean triples.
12. The Fibonacci sequence
The name “Fibonacci” is most widely known today not because
Leonardo was the man who introduced modern arithmetic into Europe, rather in
connection with the “Fibonacci sequence”, an unending sequence of natural numbers
that begins
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, ...
The rule for generating new numbers in the sequence is that each number
is the sum of the two preceding numbers, so 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, etc. This
sequence arises when you solve a particular problem Leonardo gave in Liber abbaci
(p.404 of Laurence Sigler’s English translation):
13. How Many Pairs of Rabbits Are Created by One Pair in One Year.
A certain man had one pair of rabbits together in a certain enclosed place, and
one wishes to know how many are created from the pair in one year when it is the
nature of them in a single month to bear another pair, and in the second month
those born to bear also.
The numbers of pairs each month are the Fibonacci numbers. You can
read off the answer to Leonardo’s problem: 377 pairs. The problem and its
solution dates back well before Leonardo.
