The Fibonacci Sequence

[Arez Al'Loke]

Oh yes indeed! The Fibonacci Sequence.. Where to begin. Simply put, it's a sequence of numbers that at first, seem completly and utterly unimportant... 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 and so on...

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!

 

Watching atleast one of these videos will fricken open your mind !!!

And this is a funny one aswell ^^

The ratios of consecutive terms approach e.

And thanks to the fact that i just finished precalc, i actually understood that sentence.

[Ironeyes]

I just finished precal too! Oh, wait. I haven't finished yet. The final is next week.

[RandA lThor]

Precalc was fun, at least for me, I am a math nerd.

I'm a science geek myself. I only do math because it is necessary for science.

[RandA lThor]

my favorite science is physics because of math involvement.

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Teh only Fibonacci sequence I know is that of fibbing :P

That explains a lot.

I was a math major for my 2 years of college but I took a lot of physics and could always switch when I get back in.

[Arez Al'Loke]

OKEY FELLOWS!! Tau or Pi?

[WWWwombat]

pi cuz it makes Euler's equation really cool.

[Ironeyes]

π for sure. Without it, we would be lost in Trig. And that's my favorite subdivision of math.

[hazelkrs1]

Pi hands down, cause Tau was never the title of a Darren Aranovsky (sp?) film

Here's prob a better question: Fibonacci sequence, or the Golden ratio?

 

Both numbers are all over the place in nature and even have their own place in numerology worship and sacred geometry (Melchizidek ftw!)

[hazelkrs1]

Before anyone asks, yes, they are related, but fibonacci is basically a system expressed through integers for the most part, whereas the golden ratio is always the same, regardless of how far in the progression you are

[hazelkrs1]

And because of this, fibonacci can be expressed in some systems that the golden ratio can't; for example in number of offspring for certain species. Since two bunny parents can't have 1.61803399 times the amount of offspring without some messy births, fibonacci has the edge here

[Ironeyes]

e

[hazelkrs1]

1.61803399 > 2.718281828459045

[Ironeyes]

7>3.1415926>2.718281828459045>1.61803399>1>0

[hazelkrs1]

42 > EVERYTHING ELSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is all.

In all seriousness, I once read a paper which annotated startling connections between many of these abstract/imaginary/whatever you want to call em numbers, like e and pi and phi and such. Very out there stuff and it def included some maths that were over my head, but the stuff I did grasp was very interesting
