Fibonacci Sequence
In 1202, the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known
as Fibonacci, introduced the infinite sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,
34, 55, 89, … , now called the Fibonacci sequence. The first two
terms are both 1, and every term thereafter is the sum of two
preceding terms. For instance, the third term, 2, of the sequence is
obtained by adding the first two terms: 1 + 1 = 2. similarly, the fourth
term, 3, is obtained by adding the second and third term: 1 + 2 = 3.
This pattern continues.
Any number in the Fibonacci sequence is called Fibonacci
number, and, for each positive integer n ≥ 1, the nth term of a
Fibonacci sequence is denoted by F n. Using this notation, the
Fibonacci sequence can be defined recursively as F1 = 1, F2 = 1, Fn =
Fn - 1 + Fn - 2 for n ≥ 3.
