The Fibonacci sequence is frequently referenced in the 2001 book The Perfect Spiral by Jason S. Hornsby. A youthful Fibonacci is one of the main characters in the novel Crusade in Jeans (1973). He was left out of the 2006 movie version, however. The Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio are briefly described in John Fowles's 1985 novel A Maggot.
Fibonacci instead would write the same fraction to the left, i.e., . Fibonacci used a composite fraction notation in which a sequence of numerators and denominators shared the same fraction bar; each such term represented an additional fraction of the given numerator divided by the product of all the denominators below and to the right of it.
Fibonacci was born around 1170 to Guglielmo, an Italian merchant and customs official. [3] Guglielmo directed a trading post in Bugia (Béjaïa), in modern-day Algeria. [16] Fibonacci travelled with him as a young boy, and it was in Bugia (Algeria) where he was educated that he learned about the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. [17] [7]
A Fibonacci prime is a Fibonacci number that is prime. The first few are: [47] 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, ... Fibonacci primes with thousands of digits have been found, but it is not known whether there are infinitely many. [48] F kn is divisible by F n, so, apart from F 4 = 3, any Fibonacci prime must have a prime index.
In a few illustrations, there is a drawing of a fish (referring to Frank Lloyd Wright's lucky talisman) that he lost while building the Robie House. They appear in some chapters with the fibonacci sequence. On one of the last illustrations, a dragon can be found, expressing the change from carp to dragon in the story.
For generalized Fibonacci sequences (satisfying the same recurrence relation, but with other initial values, e.g. the Lucas numbers) the number of occurrences of 0 per cycle is 0, 1, 2, or 4. The ratio of the Pisano period of n and the number of zeros modulo n in the cycle gives the rank of apparition or Fibonacci entry point of n.

Cassini's identity (sometimes called Simson's identity) and Catalan's identity are mathematical identities for the Fibonacci numbers. Cassini's identity, a special case of Catalan's identity, states that for the nth Fibonacci number, + = ().
