  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Fibonacci numbers arise in the analysis of the Fibonacci heap data structure. A one-dimensional optimization method, called the Fibonacci search technique, uses Fibonacci numbers. [74] The Fibonacci number series is used for optional lossy compression in the IFF 8SVX audio file format used on Amiga computers.

  3. Golden spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral

    A Fibonacci spiral approximates the golden spiral using quarter-circle arcs inscribed in squares derived from the Fibonacci sequence. A golden spiral with initial radius 1 is the locus of points of polar coordinates ( r , θ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta )} satisfying r = φ 2 θ / π , {\displaystyle r=\varphi ^{2\theta /\pi },} where φ ...

  4. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    Both the Fibonacci sequence and the sequence of Lucas numbers can be used to generate approximate forms of the golden spiral (which is a special form of a logarithmic spiral) using quarter-circles with radii from these sequences, differing only slightly from the true golden logarithmic spiral. Fibonacci spiral is generally the term used for ...

  5. Fibonacci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci

    In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci omitted the "0" and first "1" included today and began the sequence with 1, 2, 3, ... . He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place, the value 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place, the value 377.

  6. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. [3] The first few Lucas numbers are 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349, ... .

  7. Fibonacci numbers in popular culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_numbers_in...

    The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of integers, typically starting with 0, 1 and continuing 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ..., each new number being the sum of the previous two. The Fibonacci numbers, often presented in conjunction with the golden ratio, are a popular theme in culture. They have been mentioned in novels, films, television shows, and songs.

  8. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    The golden spiral is a logarithmic spiral that grows outward by a factor of the golden ratio for every 90 degrees of rotation (pitch angle about 17.03239 degrees). It can be approximated by a "Fibonacci spiral", made of a sequence of quarter circles with radii proportional to Fibonacci numbers.

  9. Fibonacci prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_prime

    A prime divides if and only if p is congruent to ±1 modulo 5, and p divides + if and only if it is congruent to ±2 modulo 5. (For p = 5, F 5 = 5 so 5 divides F 5) . Fibonacci numbers that have a prime index p do not share any common divisors greater than 1 with the preceding Fibonacci numbers, due to the identity: [6]
