    Leonardo of Pisa, better known as Fibonacci, is responsible for the Fibonacci Sequence (or Fibonacci numbers) – a pattern of counting where each number is the sum of the previous two. As well as being prevalent in nature, this kind of system is used widely in computer data storage and processing, and Fibonacci Day recognises the importance and value of Fibonacci’s contributions to mathematics.

    I'm expecting a big response to this one :thumbsup:

    You can count on it Bern.

  3. You can count me out of this one - it's taken me years to accomplish the 14x table for dispensing purposes! :oops:

    Oh, you mean the sums of the shallow diagonals in Pascal's triangle.:thumbsup: It all makes sense now:)

    The rows of Pascal's triangle are conventionally enumerated starting with row n = 0 at the top. The entries in each row are numbered from the left beginning with k = 0 and are usually staggered relative to the numbers in the adjacent rows. A simple construction of the triangle proceeds in the following manner. On row 0, write only the number 1. Then, to construct the elements of following rows, add the number above and to the left with the number above and to the right to find the new value. If either the number to the right or left is not present, substitute a zero in its place. For example, the first number in the first row is 0 + 1 = 1, whereas the numbers 1 and 3 in the third row are added to produce the number 4 in the fourth row. That is a totally different thing :rolleyes:

    Yep it's a totally different thing, but the connection is definitely there;) that's why they're magic numbers:)

    I first heard of the Fibonacci Sequence as a schoolboy, it's about the only thing I remember from Maths class at school.
    Although I can still do mental arithmetic :rolleyes:

  12. If you reverse the number sequence it's similar to my bank balance when the Mrs goes shopping!
     
  13. It is also the speed at which steel rusts on VWs

    I thought Fibonacci was one of the five families Michael Corleone settled business with when his godson was being christened........:confused:
