The reception area has a mathematical theme, with equations and even pictorials depicting some well-known mathsy phrases, think
Fibonacci number sequences (also known as phi).
where [F.sub.n] is the n-th
Fibonacci number. In this situation, the sum [s.sub.1] + ...
If [F.sub.n] is the nth
Fibonacci number, then for n [greater than or equal to] 1,
The 34th conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematical Education takes place in July where they'll no doubt discuss semi-prime numbers and the notion that 34 is the ninth
Fibonacci number and that since it is an odd-indexed
Fibonacci number, 34 is also a Markov number.
where [F.sub.i] is the i-th
Fibonacci number (1,1,2,3,5,8, ...), [d.sub.i][member of] {0,1}, [d.sub.k] = 1.
The site includes lively comments by readers who often disagree with the blogger's views, and also pages for Silliman's own poetry, including Tjanting, a dazzling long poem structured according to the
Fibonacci number system.
Clearly, this is very different from the
Fibonacci number series but will use similar types of Maple expressions.
Noting the pervasiveness of
Fibonacci numbers in nature, Penrose even suggests that information processing advantages may be conferred by the
Fibonacci number structure of the microtubules within the neuron cytoskeletons.
The set of

Fibonacci number, [F.sub.
Having set up a simple spreadsheet to calculate the
Fibonacci numbers, students then calculate the ratio of one
Fibonacci number to the previous one, thus revealing the Golden Ratio.
