Fibonacci sequence

F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1, then each number is the sum of the two before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610...

The golden ratio

The ratio F(n+1)/F(n) approaches φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.6180339887... as n grows. This "golden ratio" appears in art, architecture, and nature.

Fibonacci in nature

Flower petals often come in Fibonacci numbers (3, 5, 8, 13, 21). Sunflower seed spirals, pinecone scales, and nautilus shells all follow Fibonacci patterns.

Closed formula (Binet's)

F(n) = (φⁿ − ψⁿ)/√5 where φ = (1+√5)/2 and ψ = (1−√5)/2. This gives exact values without computing the whole sequence.
