Why Are Fibonacci Numbers Important in Nature?. Part of the series: Math Problems & Trigonometry. The Fibonacci numbers are important in nature for a wide variety of different interesting reasons. Find out about why the Fibonacci numbers are important in nature with help from a professional online tutor and academic scholar in this free video clip.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which a given number is the addition of the two numbers before it. So, if you start with 0, the next number will be 1, followed by 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 and so on. As you can see, every number in this series or sequence is obtained by adding the two preceding numbers. This simple series of numbers is referred to as the Fibonacci sequence for Fibonacci series. And individual numbers in this sequence are often called Fibonacci numbers. To the uninitiated, it may just seem like a series of numbers, but the Fibonacci sequence has been discovered and rediscovered in various forms, not only in mathematics, but also in nature and our everyday lives. There’s another exciting offshoot of the Fibonacci sequence - the golden ratio. Seashells are one of the most common examples of the golden spiral in nature. Ocean waves, hurricanes, flower buds, snail shells, spider webs are some of the many naturally-occurring examples. #science #animation #fibonacci Intro - (0:00) What is the Fibonacci sequence - (0:57) Leonardo of Pisa and the Fibonacci sequence - (1:39) Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio - (2:56) References: https://math.temple.edu/~reich/Fib/fibo.html https://brilliant.org/wiki/fibonacci-series/ Original Article Link: https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/why-are-fibonacci-numbers-so-important.html If you wish to buy/license this video, please write to us at admin@scienceabc.com.

Where did all of these symbols come from? John David Walters shares the origins of mathematical symbols, and illuminates why they’re still so important in the field today.
