The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers

Alfred S. Posamentier & Ingmar Lehman

A fascinating study of one of the most intriguing number patterns in all of mathematics. It is a very simple pattern, beginning with two ones, each succeeding number is then the sum of the two numbers immediately preceding it(1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21, and so on till infinity) This sequence occurs throughout nature-from regeneration patterns of bees and rabbits to the arrangement of spirals on pinecones and pineapples. According to the authors this provides for the deep mathematical basis of the natural world.

The authors find an endless array of connections between the Fibonacci numbers (named after a thirteenth-century mathematician from Pisa) and the natural and manmade world… they demonstrate the varied applications of the pattern to art, sacred architecture and even the stock market.

This book is accessible to all (even the math challenged)

“Brilliant, entertaining, eye-opening. And you thought The Da Vinci Code was provocative. Wait until you read this book about the underlying code or pattern in reality.” Dr Gregory H. Williams President of the City College of New York
