Population Growth
For a living organism to survive, it has to reproduce and grow its population. We can record the population of an animal species at regular intervals, and this would result in a number sequence. We saw various types of number sequences in Meeting 2.
Fibonacci Sequence
Fibonacci (born Leonardo Bonacci), an Italian mathematcian from Pisa, is acclaimed for popularizing to the Western World the Arabic number system (1, 2, 3, 4, …) that we use today. In his book, Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation), he investigated the breeding patterns of rabbits and described the famous number sequence that bears his name.
