@RandallTT I visited Versalles near Paris and saw how Kings and Queens lived! I can only say that the sophistication of buildings and gardens only caused disgust in me when thinking of most people's living conditions in those times!
The same happened when entering the renown cathedrals of Europe, a testimony to the many lives lost making those buildings!
It reinforced my aversion to royalty and religion, two concepts that should be symbols of injustice in this century!
@Helveticus I am not a mathematician - but close.
I trained as an engineer so I studied a lot of math and have had a lifelong interest in all sorts of math, patterns and puzzles.
However, I am not catching the link between Fibonacci and "the original name". (I may be a little slow today - can you help me?)
@RandallTT Pleasure
Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo of Pisa, or Leonardo Bigollo Pisano, was an Italian mathematician from the Republic of Pisa, considered to be "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages". Wikipedia
@RandallTT
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it:.(Wikipedia)
@RandallTT Aren't you SamFibonacci or did I make a mistake when referring you?
@Helveticus No, I've never been been a Fibonacci. I've know of the sequence/series for ever but never knew anything about who it was named for - Thanks!
@RandallTT
"In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones"
Are you a mathematician and did you take the original name as homage?
Just curious 😋
