  Fibonacci word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fibonacci word is a specific infinite sequence of binary digits (or symbols from any two-letter alphabet).
The word is related to the famous sequence of the same name (the Fibonacci sequence) in the sense that addition of integers in the inductive definition is replaced with string concatenation.
The Fibonacci word is a famous example of a Sturmian word.

 Fibonacci   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Fibonacci was a contemporary of Jordanus but he was a far more sophisticated mathematician and his achievements were clearly recognised, although it was the practical applications rather than the abstract theorems that made him famous to his contemporaries.
Fibonacci proves that the root of the equation is neither an integer nor a fraction, nor the square root of a fraction.
Fibonacci was also the teacher of the "Cossists", who took their name from the word 'causa' which was first used in the West by Fibonacci in place of 'res' or 'radix'.

 Fibonacci
Fibonacci was also known by the nickname "Bigollo", which may be taken to mean loafer, and may have expressed the general lack of interest in the purely theoretical mathematics Fibonacci showed interest in.
Fibonacci ended his travels in approximately 1200 and settled down in Pisa, where for the next twenty five years he composed a number of texts in which he did important work in number theory and the solution of algebraic equations among other important things.
Fibonacci did not express his mathematics in the form of equations as is done today, but he did however word them in such a way as to be directly translatable into modern equations: an example from the Liber quadatorum [3, p.

 The Mathematical Magic of the Fibonacci Numbers
This page looks at some patterns in the Fibonacci numbers themselves, from the digits in the numbers to their factors and multiples and which are prime numbers.
We can see this with the Fibonacci numbers too: there are 11 Fibonacci numbers in the range 1-100, but only one in the next 3 ranges of 100 (101-200, 201-300, 301-400) and they get increasingly rarer for large ranges of size 100.

The pitches of his notes are often based on powers of Phi and their order is fixed by a number sequence, such as the Fibonacci numbers, or R(n) - the number of Fibonacci representations of n or on many other sequences that are described here on my Fibonacci site.

 String Rewriting and the Fibonacci Word
Wherever you encounter (read) an "a," you counter with (write) an "ab." Perusing the first word, we read in the "a," and we write (in another place, as it were) an "ab." That "a" was the whole of the first word, so this stage is over.
At the next stage, the word to be examined consists of "ab." We peruse the word at hand, and rewrite everything we find there, according to the rules that have been provided.
This differs from the Thue-Morse Word solely in the rule for the letter, "b." It is, in fact, even simpler here than was the comparable rule for the letter, "b," in the Thue-Morse Word.

 What is Fibonacci numbers? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Beginning with 0 and 1, the sequence of Fibonacci numbers would be 0,1,1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. using the formula n = n(-1) + n(-2), where the n(-1) means "the last number before n in the series" and n(-2) refers to "the second last one before n in the series.”
In computer programming, Fibonacci numbers give a model for designing recursive programming algorithms where the time for any routine is the time within the routine itself, plus the time for the recursive calls.
The Fibonacci numbers were originally defined by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo da Pisa, in the 13th century to model the growth of rabbit populations.
