Fibonacci number

defined as the science that studies the relations and properties of geometrical figures, symbols and numbers. One of those numbers is Phi, an irrational number also known as the golden ratio, with an approximate value of Φ= 1.618033988749895… Phi has many applications in several fields of study, including natural science. Through this work we will explore different cases in which a relation between the number phi and God can be witnessed, hoping to call the attention of the reader towards…

Girolamo Cardano has made hundreds of contributions to the math world. He was not only a mathematician, but a physician, teacher, astrologer, and gambler as well. He was very well known for solving equations and being able to calculate formulas. He was born on September 24th, 1501 in what is now considered to be Italy. His father was a lawyer who also specialized in teaching geometry. Some may say this is where Cardano received his interest in mathematics. Cardano plays a huge role in mathematic…

lengths” (individual rods) add up to “trains” (combinations) which are equal to the length of a larger car. The students will record the different combinations and how many there are for each car length and then look for a pattern by examining the numbers and a graphical representation of the results. Common Core State Standards: M08.D-S.1: Investigate patterns…

Mona Lisa and in other art and architecture for centuries. Around 1200 AD, mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the unique properties of the Fibonacci sequence. This sequence ties directly into the Golden ratio because if you take any two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden ratio. As the numbers increase, the closer the get to the golden ratio. As the numbers decrease, the farther the…

Firstly, math is a language of the universe because the number appears everywhere. The number is the prime of mathematics, and it is not difficult to see the number all around the people. Based on “Math Is the Language of the Universe” of Marcus Du Sautoy, the author states that by starting with the simple number, such as 0 to 9, the people can build more complicating number by putting the primes together. In this case, the number are like the oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen elements that…

value of the number just imagine if one adds or even removes a zero from their salary. Index Terms— Zero, Mesopotamia, Mayan, Brahmagupta, Al-Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Descartes. I. Introduction…

dark ages were not really a time of darkness. There were great advancements and inventions during that time. During the Medieval Times, there were many advances in agriculture, science and architecture. Some of the advances include the change of the number system, the change of animals in which they used to farm and the gothic architecture used during this time. There were many advances in agriculture during the middle ages. Many peasants farmed the land with different grains such as wheat,…

entry-level mathematics students often encounter difficulties in understanding magnitudes of large numbers. I shall begin my case study from some experiments that how accurately the children could estimate the numbers magnitudes by various aspects of a stimulus. Thus far, my research has followed two lines of inquiry. The first line of study is to identify children’s different understanding levels for number magnitudes and to accurately estimate numbers7. Specifically I am interested in…

2014 pp. 90 identifies that a major cause of student’s difficulties in mathematics has been how they understand and process numbers. The teacher then writes on the board 723- 246. The class is asked to copy and complete the above exercise in their books. The teacher then asked a student the answer. The student says “four hundred and seventy-seven”. The teacher interrupts the student:…
