	World Mysteries - Science Mysteries, Fibonacci Numbers and Nature
		The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind.
		Fibonacci was known in his time and is still recognized today as the "greatest European mathematician of the middle ages." He was born in the 1170's and died in the 1240's and there is now a statue commemorating him located at the Leaning Tower end of the cemetery next to the Cathedral in Pisa.
		These numbers are precisely those of the Fibonacci sequence (the bigger the numbers, the better the approximation) and the choice of the fraction depends on the time laps between the appearance of each of the seeds at the center of the flower.

		Fibonacci was born in Pisa, Italy, a commercial city, where he learned the basics of business calculation.
		Fibonacci used this experience to improve on the commercial computing techniques he knew and to extend the work of classical mathematical writers, such as the Greek mathematicians Diophantus and Euclid.
