	Fibonacci number program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many beginning computer science courses, an introduction to the concept of recursion often includes a program to calculate and print Fibonacci numbers (or computing the factorial of a number).
		The following J code segments demonstrate how to calculate the Fibonacci sequence using double recursion, single recursion, iteration, power of phi, continued fraction, Taylor series, sum of binomial coefficients, matrix power, and operations in Q[√5] and Z[√5].
		Because of the limited precision of 64-bit IEEE floating-point numbers this method is good only for n up to 76.

		In particular, the Fibonacci sequence with F(1) = 1 and F(2) = 3 is referred to as the Lucas numbers.
		The straightforward recursive implementation of the Fibonacci sequence definition is also not advisable, since it would compute many values repeatedly (unless the programming language has a feature which allows the storing of previously computed function values).
		An interesting use of the Fibonacci sequence is for converting miles to kilometers.

	Music and the golden section, divine proportion and Fibonacci series
		Fibonacci and phi relationships are often found in the timing of musical compositions.
		As an example, the climax of songs is often found at roughly the phi point (61.8%) of the song, as opposed to the middle or end of the song.
		Fibonacci and phi are used in the design of violins and even in the design of high quality speaker wire.

	What is Fibonacci retracement, and where do the ratios that are used come from?
		Fibonacci retracement is a very popular tool among technical traders and is based on the key numbers identified by mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci in the 13th century.
		In technical analysis, Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points (usually a major peak and trough) on a stock chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.
		The Fibonacci sequence of numbers is as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, etc. Each term in this sequence is simply the sum of the two preceding terms, and on it goes until the sequence reaches infinity.

	Fibonacci Facts
		The Fibonacci sequence first appeared as the solution to a problem in the Liber Abaci, a book written in 1202 by Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa to introduce the Hindu-Arabic numerals used today to a Europe still using cumbersome Roman numerals.
		The resulting Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,..., have been the subject of continuing research, especially by the Fibonacci Association, publisher of the Fibonacci Quarterly since 1963.
		The Fibonacci numbers are found to have many relationships to the Golden Ratio F = (1 + /5)/2, a constant of nature and a value which fascinated the ancient Greeks, appearing throughout Greek art and architecture.

		Magic squares are arrangements of numbers in a square pattern in which all the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same number.
		After 1228, virtually nothing is known of Fibonacci's life, except that by decree the Republic of Pisa awarded the "'serious and learned Master Leonardo Bigollo' (discretus et sapiens) a yearly salarium of 'libre XX denariorem' in addition to the usual allowances".

	The life and numbers of Fibonacci
		Fibonacci is perhaps best known for a simple series of numbers, introduced in Liber abaci and later named the Fibonacci numbers in his honour.
		The Fibonacci numbers are studied as part of number theory and have applications in the counting of mathematical objects such as sets, permutations and sequences and to computer science.
		This article was based on material written by Dr R. Knott, a lecturer in the Department of Computing Studies at the University of Surrey and additional material by Dr D. Quinney, a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, University of Keele.

		The association of Fibonacci numbers and plants is not restricted to numbers of petals.
		Since this pattern of development mirrors the growth of the rabbits in Fibonacci's classic problem, it is not surprising then that the number of branches at any stage of development is a Fibonacci number.
		The Fibonacci number patterns encountered herein occur so frequently in nature that we often hear the phenomenon referred to as a "law of nature".
