yes it should be 0,1,1,2,3.........

fibonacci did not come up with this sequence it came out of africa.

This universal ... ( 11 months ago by cawleym1)

This universal sequence of numbers could lead to the ability to predict the appearance and forms of alien life. If this ratio is set into the development of life on this planet then it could be true for life elsewhere. Just a thought.

Delighted to be of service.

This would not be ... ( 11 months ago by IzzyD42)

This would not be surprising, as it is a "natural" sequence of numbers, and it may be more accurate to say that Fibonacci discovered it than invented it, if you will. Would that be Northern Africa or sub-Saharan Africa? Or possibly Arab traders? It's not called the Hindu-Arabic numbering system for no reason, you know!(;-)

lots of number ... ( 11 months ago by kennordine)

lots of number systems can give us seconds thoughts: for instance, there is an infintely larger number of infinite irrational number than there is an infinite number of infinite rational numbers. Check out George Cantor, mathemetician circa 1920 something. ken

A great poet Omar Hakim Khayahm laid down some good lines at the same time the Arabic numbers came spilling out. Could have been the vast landscape of shifting whispering sand working on the cognitive shelf within the spirit. I have never met a quantum that didn't leap. ken

I should have said North African with the 0 being Indian. Cheers ;¬)

The Lucas system 2, ... ( 11 months ago by cawleym1)

The Lucas system 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843......also embedded into nature. I think that numbers are potentially infinite but are actualy finite like the universe. It will all end one day you know. ;¬)

i thought it was 1,1,2,3,5,8... not just 1,2

you are right, ... ( 6 months ago by kennordine)

you are right, should be two ones before two makes one three and then two makes three five etc. a graphic oops. ken

OMG!! Cross KEN NORDINE with the Fibonacci [sic] Series and who knows what could happen! BTW, check out KATE BUSH doing "Pi" on her "Aerial" recording,LOL!!

This reminds me of a tutorial on Haskell lazy evaluation—Fibonacci numbers are a common example—on shrooms! I'm a CS / math major, this video really made my day

Music and math are the loveliest of constructs. 2 next to to two is twenty two ken

there are 2 1's at the beginning it only shows 1 1 (i know they say it but it only showed 1) >.>1 1 2 3

You are right. Should have been two ones. Waiting to have the mistake corrected by the animator. ken

Hi! I'm not so sure ... ( 1 month ago by setlaew)

Hi! I'm not so sure what you mean by "Fibonacci numbers are a common example—on shrooms." I certainly don't want to sound simple, but are you making a reference to Fractals? Please explain? Thanks.

The Fibonacci ... ( 1 month ago by odenskrigare)

The Fibonacci sequence is the most common way of showing how lazy evaluation works in Haskell, i.e.: fibs = 0 : 1 : [ a + b | (a, b) <- zip fibs (tail fibs)] Evaluates to [0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,...]; goes on forever. No, he is not talking about fractals.

And, by the way, savatdi khrap/sabaidi if you are Thai or Lao, which the name 'setlaew' sounds like.

also the guitar ... ( 1 month ago by tippo747)

also the guitar divided perfectly into three,,devides, on the 7 and 19 th fret 7 and 19 both third level fibinacci numbers to make the first fibinnaci sequence you start with just one and two and add them together.. but the third level fibinacci sequence....starts with 1234.......then you add the first number 1 with third one along from that number (4) and write down the answer...which is 5....now move along..and do the same for 2. (1 2 3 4 5 7 10 14 19 26 36 50 69 95 131 181 )
