Abstract:
This World Wide Web (WWW) site, maintained by the University of Surrey in England, is devoted to looking at the Fibonacci numbers, their properties and occurrences in nature, and related number theory topics. Puzzles with answers involving the Fibonacci numbers and a page with examples of the Fibonacci numbers in art, architecture, and music are included. The site contains illustrations, diagrams, and graphs relating the Fibonacci numbers to branching plants and to family trees for rabbits and bees. Other topics include the Golden Ratio, its properties and uses in geometry, and the Lucas number series, which is closely related to the Fibonacci numbers. There are links to other sites of interest on the Fibonacci numbers and a listing of related books and articles. (Author/JRS) |
