The Fibonacci Sequence
 the fibonacci sequence was invented by
Leonardo Fibonacci
 The Golden Ratio
 The golden ratio is ϕ(phi) = 1.61803…..
 Taking the ratio of two successive numbers in
the sequence will approach the golden ratio
as you move deeper into the sequence
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55…..
5/3= 1.67 8/5=1.6 13/8=1.625 34/21=
1.619
