Understanding the Fibonacci Sequence

What is the Fibonacci Sequence?

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, typically starting with 0 and 1. In our visualizer, you can choose to start with any two numbers to see how the sequence develops.

Fibonacci Sequence: Mathematical Insights

The Mathematical Definition

The Fibonacci sequence is formally defined by the recurrence relation:

F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)

with seed values F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1. However, our visualization allows you to start with any initial values to explore different sequences.

Connection to the Golden Ratio

As the sequence progresses, the ratio between consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio (φ ≈ 1.6180339887). This mathematical constant appears in art, architecture, and nature.

limn→∞ F(n+1)/F(n) = φ = (1 + √5)/2
