Growing Population of Rabbits
 Problem: Suppose a newly-
born pair of rabbits (one
male, one female) are put in
a field. Rabbits are able to
mate at the age of one month
so that at the end of the
second month, a female can
produce another pair
rabbits.

Fibonacci Sequence
 Fibonacci sequence is an integer in the infinite sequence:
1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 13 , ………
… of which the first two terms are 1 and 1 and each succeeding
term is the sum of the two immediately preceding.

 Simple Rule: add the last two to get the next.

Fibonacci Sequence
How many pairs will there be
in one year?

1,1,2,3,5,
8 , 13 , 21 ,
34 , 55 , 89 ,
144 , …

 So 144 pairs will be there at


the end of one year.
