The Fibonacci sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The Fibonacci numbers are prime examples of “how mathematics is connected to seemingly unrelated things.” Overtime, sense perception was used to observe that The Fibonacci numbers often appear in nature, such as in the branching in trees and flowering of an artichoke. The idea that the Fibonacci sequence is not just theorized or can only be proven on paper adds importance to its significance in the world.

In the case of the Fibonacci sequence, it’s application into the real world adds validity to it as knowledge within the field of mathematics. It also has value in that natural examples of the Fibonacci sequence are continually being discovered. These new discoverers are added to a journal entitled the Fibonacci Quarterly. Due to the idea that the Fibonacci numbers are not a mathematical property that remains stagnant, but continues to grow and evolve again adds to the idea that continual application into the real…
