HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Fibonacci, Leonardo Italian mathematician. He published Liber abaci/The Book of the Calculator in Pisa in 1202, which was instrumental in the introduction of Arabic notation into Europe. From 1960, interest increased in Fibonacci numbers , in their simplest form a sequence in which each number is the sum of its two predecessors (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...). They have unusual characteristics with possible applications in botany, psychology, and astronomy (for example, a more exact correspondence than is given by Bode's law to the distances between the planets and the Sun). In 1220, Fibonacci published Practica geometriae , in which he used algebraic methods to solve many arithmetical and geometrical problems.

Fibonacci sequence noun
The sequence of numbers, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, . . . , in which each successive number is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers.
[After Leonardo Fibonacci (died c. 1250), Italian mathematician.] Fibonacci numbers
In mathematics, an infinite series in which each successive integer is the sum of the two that precede it- for example, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34.... Fibonacci numbers are named for the thirteenth-century mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci. In computing, Fibonacci numbers are used to speed binary searches by repeatedly dividing a set of data into groups in accordance with successively smaller pairs of numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. For example, a data set of 34 items would be divided into one group of 21 and another of 13. If the item being sought were in the group of 13, the group of 21 would be discarded, and the group of 13 would be divided into 5 and ; the search would continue until the item was located. The ratio of two successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence converges on the Golden Ratio, a "

Fibonacci, Leonardo (ca. 1170 after 1240) Italian Leonardo Fibonacci was the first great mathematician in Europe during the Middle Ages. He was also known as Leonardo of Pisa. He was trained to be a businessman and began traveling from his hometown of Pisa to other places on business trips. During these travels he studied other numerical systems and learned the Hindu-Arabic number system, which he recognized as superior to the Roman numeral system. He also studied algebra and geometry from the readings of Diophantus. Around 1200, he devoted his efforts to developing, writing, and applying mathematics. Fibonacci's books include Liber abbaci Practica geometriae (1220), and Liber quadratorum Through his dedication and hard work he introduced Europeans to the Hindu-Arabic number system and pioneered the revival of mathematics in the Middle Ages. Liber abbaci brought the remarkable mathematical achievements of the Arabs to the attention of the western world. In particular, this book introduces the Arabic numerals, which we use today. While practical considerations were his major concern, he was also keenly interested in theoretical algebra and geometry.

    Fibonacci, Leonardo Pisano
    Fibonacci ou Leonardo de Pisa, desempenhou um importante papel ao retificar a antiga matemática, e contribui significantemente com descobertas suas. Liber abaci introduz o sistema décima Hindu/Árabe e o uso numeração árabe, na Europa. É mais conhecido por Fibonacci. Nasceu em Itália (provavelmente), mas foi educado no Norte de África, onde o seu pai trabalhava, como funcionário diplomático. Viajou amplamente com o seu pai, reconhecendo as enormes vantagens do sistema matemático utilizado, nos países que visitou. Liber abaci publicado em 1202 após o seu regresso a Itália é baseado em pedaços de aritmética e álgebra que Fibonacci acumulou enquanto viajava. Este livro introduziu o sistema decimal Hindu/Árabe e o uso de numeração árabe na Europa. Um problema, em Liber abaci levou à introdução dos números de Fibonacci, e à sucessão de Fibonacci, pelos quais este é melhor conhecido nos dias de hoje. Esta sucessão veio na seqüência do seguinte problema: "Quantos pares de coelhos serão produzidos num ano, começando com um só par, se em cada mês cada par gera um novo par que se torna produtivo a partir do segundo mês?" Todo este problema considera que os coelhos estão permanente fechados num certo local e que não ocorrem mortes.

    probalement décédé en Italie en 1250. Fibonacci a joué un rôle important dans la renaissance des mathématiques anciennes et y a apporté une contribution significative. Leonardo Pisano est mieux connu sous son surnom Fibonacci. Fibonacci est né en Italie mais fut élevé en Afrique du Nord où son père occupait un poste de diplomate. Il travailla avec celui-ci, reconnaissant l'énorme avantage du système mathématique utilisé dans ces pays. Liber abaci , publié en 1202 après son retour en Italie, est basé sur les connaissances en arithmétique et en algèbre que Fibonacci avait accumulées pendant ses voyages. Liber abaci introduit la notation décimale arabo-hindoue de position et l'usage de chiffres "arabes" en Europe. Un problème dans Liber abaci conduisit à l'introductions des nombres de Fibonacci et à la suite de Fibonacci pour laquelle il est demeuré célèbre.

También en Liber quadratorum del año 1225 aproximó las raíces cúbicas obteniendo una respuesta que en la notación decimal es correcta en 9 dígitos.
    "Mis Prácticas de geometría" del año 1220 entrega una compilación de la geometría al mismo tiempo que introduce algo de trigonometría.

While he was there, he was able to learn both European and Hindu-Arabic mathematics which were of popular use at that time with the scholars and the calculating schemes. Soon Fibonacci deduced for himself that the "Hindu-Arabic" number system was much more useful than the common European number system.

    Leonardo da Pisa Fibonacci, Mathematician
    by Linnea
    Leonardo Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo Pisano, or Leonardo of Pisa, was the greatest Italian mathematician of medieval Christian Europe. He was born in 1170 a.d in Pisa, Italy. As a child he traveled on business trips to the Middle East with his father, Bonaccio, who was involved with the merchantile business. They visited Eygpt, Sicily, Seria, Greece and many more. As a result of his travels, Leonardo was raised in Bougie, Asia. Where his father served as the secretary to the Republic of Bougie. While he was there he would often join in discussions about math, from mathematicians: he learned from the book Fakhione, on the works of al- Khowarizmi on algerbra, by al-Karhki. From them and others young Leonardo learned new and different concepts of math. When he returned to Pisa he put all the ideas into a book called Liber Abbci (book of the abucus) which was published in 1202. The Emperor, Fredrick II, noticed Fibonacci's genius and invited him to the court, to a math tourniment. Each contestent was asked 3 different questions about algerbra. After that Fibonacci visited the court feriquently. Fibonacci helped introduce Hindu-Araibec numbers to Western Europe, which at the time was using the Roman numbers. In 1220, Fibonacci's second book Mis Practia Geometriae (practice of geometry) was published. It introduced trigonomtry as well as geometry. Fibonacci was best known for his discovery of the Fibonacci number series, where each number is a sum of the two proceding it. (ex. 1+1+2+3+5+8+13...) Also, Fibonacci discovered the golden ratio, rectangle, and the golden proportion; 1.618. Leonardo Fibonacci died in 1240.

Fibonacci collected these ideas in books, for people to learn without having to travel as he had. His writings introduced Arabic numerals into European mathematics. Fibonacci also made significant contributions to mathematics himself, in number theory and on recursive sequences. He is most famous for the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the previous two.
