    The document is a worksheet on the Fibonacci sequence. It begins by defining key terms like sequence and pattern. It then explains that the Fibonacci sequence is a special sequence where each term is the sum of the previous two terms, starting with 0 and 1. The sequence has many interesting properties, including that the ratio of successive terms approaches the golden ratio of approximately 1.618. This ratio appears throughout nature in structures like sunflowers and snail shells. The worksheet provides examples and exercises to practice identifying terms in the Fibonacci sequence.

    1.2 The Fibonacci sequence
    Objectives:
    1. Identify Fibonacci sequence
    2. Solve problems involving Fibonacci

    Content:
    The human mind is hardwired to recognize patterns. In mathematics
    patterns may be generated by performing one or several mathematical
    operations repeatedly.
    Sequence – is an ordered list of numbers called terms that may have repeated
    values. The arrangement of these terms is set by a definite rule.

    Example :
    Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next three
    terms.
    a. 1,10, 100, 1000
    b. 2, 5, 9, 14, 20
    Solutions:
    a. Looking at the set of numbers, it can be observed that each
    term is a power of 10:
    100 = 1 following the rule the next three terms are: 10 4 = 10,000,
    101 = 10 105 = 100,000, and 106 =1,000,000.
    102 = 100
    103 = 1,000
    b. looking at the sequence 1st term (2+3=5),followed by (5+4=9) then
    (9+5=14), (14+6=20); therefore the next three terms are (20+7=27),(27+8=35)
    and (35+9=44)
    Check your progress:
    Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next three
    terms.
    a. 16, 32, 64, 128
    b. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

    The sequence in letter b is a special sequence called the Fibonacci sequence.


    Fibonacci sequence – name after the Italian Mathematician LEONARDO OF PISA
    Leonardo of Pisa–was better known by his nickname FIBONACCI.
    - He discovered the special sequence Fibonacci as he looked at how a hypothesized
    group of rabbits bred and reproduced. He noted that the set of numbers generated
    from this problem could be extended by getting the sum of the two previous terms.
    Starting with 0 and 1, the succeeding terms in the sequence can be generated by
    adding the two numbers that came before the term:
    0+1=1 0, 1, 1
    1+1=2 0, 1, 1, 2
    1+2=3 0, 1, 1, 2, 3
    2+3=5 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5
    3+5=8 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
    5 + 8 = 13 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ; 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…….
    While the sequence is widely known as Fibonacci sequence, this pattern is said to have been
    discovered much earlier in India. According to some scholarly articles, Fibonacci sequence is
    evident in the number of variation of a particular category of Sanskrit and Prakrit poetry
    meters. In poetry, meter refers to the rhythmic pattern of syllables.
    Fibonacci sequence has many interesting properties. Among these patterns are visible in
    nature. Some of nature’s most beautiful patterns, like the spiral arrangement of sun flower
    seeds, the number of petals in a flower, and the shape of a snail’s shell all of them contain
    Fibonacci numbers. It is also interesting to note that the ratios of successive Fibonacci
    numbers approach the numbers Ø (phi), also known as the Golden Ratio. This is
    approximately equal to 1.618.
    1/1 = 1.0000 13/8 = 1.6250
    2/1 = 2.0000 21/13 = 1.6154
    3/2 = 1.5000 34/21 = 1.6190
    5/3 = 1.6667 55/34 = 1.6177
    8/5 = 1.6000 89/55 = 1.6182
    As such, this ratio is visible in many works of art and architecture such as in the Mona Lisa,
    the Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Parthenon. In Fact the Human DNA molecule also
    contains Fibonacci numbers, being 34 Angstroms long by 21 Angstroms wide for each full
    cycle of the double helix spiral. As shown in the list above, this approximates the golden
    ratio at a value of about 1.619 (1 angstrom =10-10 meter or 0.1 nanometer).

    The Parthenon is said to exhibit the application of the Golden Ratio
