The Fibonacci Sequence

The video explores the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers that explain growth patterns in nature. It begins with Fibonacci's study of rabbit populations, leading to the discovery of a sequence where each term is the sum of the previous two. This sequence appears in various natural phenomena, such as flower petals and tree structures. The video also illustrates the sequence visually, showing its recognizable spiral pattern. Overall, it highlights how mathematics helps us understand the natural world.

Who was the mathematician that discovered the series of numbers explaining growth patterns in nature?

• Pythagoras

• Leonardo Fibonacci

• Isaac Newton

How is each term in the Fibonacci sequence generated?

• By dividing the previous term by two

• By subtracting the previous term from the next

• By multiplying the previous two terms

• By adding the previous two terms

Which of the following is a natural occurrence of the Fibonacci sequence?
