A Mathematician's Perspective on Math, Faith, and Life
This is the final post (at least for now) in a series on the Fibonacci numbers. We’ve gone through a proof of how to find an exact formula for all Fibonacci numbers, and how to find exact formulas for sequences of numbers that have a similar definition to the Fibonacci numbers. But, the fact thatContinue reading “Finding Patterns in the Fibonacci Sequence”
In this series of posts about the Fibonacci sequence , a very famous sequence of numbers within mathematics, we have just concluded showing how you can take the recursive formula (which uses previous values of to compute the next values) and turn that formula into an exact formula that can skip right over the previousContinue reading “Finding the Fibonacci Numbers: A Similar Formula”
This is the third post in a series about an exact formula for the Fibonacci numbers, , which are defined by the initial values and the recurrence relation . We have made a lot of progress towards our goal. We discovered a connection between , the golden ratio , and the Fibonacci sequence by findingContinue reading “Finding the Fibonacci Numbers: The Formula”
This is the second in a series of posts discussing a quite elegant and interesting problem in the history of mathematics. We have previously defined the Fibonacci numbers using the starting point and defining for every larger value of . This set up is often called a recursive formula, since we use the same processContinue reading “Finding the Fibonacci Numbers: Getting Our Bearings”
