It was there that Fibonacci learned the Hindu-Arabic system of numerals. The Hindu-Arabic system is naturally more efficient than Roman numerals and Fibonacci was inspired to travel the Mediterranean, studying under countless brilliant Arab mathematicians. By , he had completed his extensive travels, and in , when he was only 32, he published everything he had learned in Liber Abaci. Fibonacci himself earned a lot of respect after the book was published and he even became friends with Emperor Fredrick II.
The Emperor himself enjoyed both science and mathematics. In fact, Fibonacci was so respected that in , he was honored with a special salary by the Republic of Pisa. Fibonacci died in Pisa sometime after the year and that year seems to be the last time he has appeared in historical records. While Fibonacci himself did not discover Fibonacci numbers they were named after him , he did use them in Liber Abaci.
The numbers originate back to ancient India,and was used quite frequently in metrical sciences. Frederick II supported Pisa in its conflicts with Genoa at sea and with Lucca and Florence on land, and he spent the years up to consolidating his power in Italy. State control was introduced on trade and manufacture, and civil servants to oversee this monopoly were trained at the University of Naples which Frederick founded for this purpose in Frederick became aware of Fibonacci's work through the scholars at his court who had corresponded with Fibonacci since his return to Pisa around These scholars included Michael Scotus who was the court astrologer, Theodorus Physicus the court philosopher and Dominicus Hispanus who suggested to Frederick that he meet Fibonacci when Frederick's court met in Pisa around Johannes of Palermo, another member of Frederick II's court, presented a number of problems as challenges to the great mathematician Fibonacci.
We give some details of one of these problems below. After there is only one known document which refers to Fibonacci. This is a decree made by the Republic of Pisa in in which a salary is awarded to This salary was given to Fibonacci in recognition for the services that he had given to the city, advising on matters of accounting and teaching the citizens. The book was based on the arithmetic and algebra that Fibonacci had accumulated during his travels.
The book, which went on to be widely copied and imitated, introduced the Hindu-Arabic place-valued decimal system and the use of Arabic numerals into Europe. Indeed, although mainly a book about the use of Arab numerals, which became known as algorism, simultaneous linear equations are also studied in this work. They relate to the price of goods, how to calculate profit on transactions, how to convert between the various currencies in use in Mediterranean countries, and problems which had originated in China.
How many pairs of rabbits can be produced from that pair in a year if it is supposed that every month each pair begets a new pair which from the second month on becomes productive? This sequence, in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, has proved extremely fruitful and appears in many different areas of mathematics and science.
It is a sequence that is seen and used in many different areas of mathematics and science today. The sequence is an example of a recursive sequence.
The Fibonacci Sequence defines the curvature of naturally occurring spirals, such as snail shells and even the pattern of seeds in flowering plants.
The Fibonacci Sequence was actually given the name by a French mathematician Edouard Lucas in the s. In addition to "Liber Abaci," Fibonacci authored several other books on mathematical topics ranging from geometry to squaring numbers multiplying numbers by themselves. The city of Pisa technically a republic at that time honored Fibonacci and granted him a salary in for his help in advising Pisa and its citizens on accounting issues.
Fibonacci died between and in Pisa. Fibonacci is famous for his contributions to number theory. It has been said that the Fibonacci Numbers are nature's numbering system and that they apply to the growth of living things, including cells, petals on a flower, wheat, honeycomb, pine cones, and much more.
