Fibonacci Day 0

Ah, yes, Fibonacci.  The Fibonacci sequence was named after Leonardo of Pisa.

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 etc.

This seemingly simple sequence, adding the two prior numbers to get the next, is actually a much more complicated function which can be seen in art and nature.  Often called the golden ratio, the golden rectangle, or the golden spiral, it can be found in a sunflower, a pine cone, the Mona Lisa or The Parthenon!

The beauty of the math will blow your mind, and the beauty of the art will warm your heart.

Take a Fibonacci look at The Golden Spiral by monarch13.
