Fun facts!
The Fibonacci sequence is a set of integers that produces designs commonly seen in
nature. You could consider it the math of flowers and seashells, and it is especially easy to
find in sunflowers.
By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each
subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.
It begins like this:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, … and on and on.
If you look at that number set as a picture, it looks like this:
Look familiar? That spiral, (called the Golden Spiral), when repeated, creates the design
seen in the middle of a sunflower, as well as many other places in nature.
