Figure 1: Recognizing the pattern of the "rabbit problem". If we were to keep going month by month‚ the sequence formed would be 1‚1‚2‚3‚5‚8‚13‚21 and so on. From here we notice that each new term is the sum of the previous two terms. The set of numbers is defined as the Fibonacci sequence. Mathematically speaking‚ this sequence is represented as: The Fibonacci sequence has a plethora of applications in art and in nature. One frequent finding in nature involves the use of an even more powerful

would be without irrational numbers? If the great Pythagorean hyppasus or any other mathematician would have not ever thought of such numbers? Before ‚understanding the development of irrational numbers ‚we should understand what these numbers originally are and who discovered them? In mathematics‚ an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b‚ where a and b are integers and b is non-zero. Irrational numbers are those real numbers that cannot be represented as

Real number In mathematics‚ a real number is a value that represents a quantity along a continuum‚ such as 5 (an integer)‚ 3/4 (a rational number that is not an integer)‚ 8.6 (a rational number expressed in decimal representation)‚ and π (3.1415926535...‚ an irrational number). As a subset of the real numbers‚ the integers‚ such as 5‚ express discrete rather than continuous quantities. Complex numbers include real numbers as a special case. Real numbers can be divided into rational numbers‚ such

RATIONAL NUMBERS In mathematics‚ a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers‚ with the denominator q not equal to zero. Since q may be equal to 1‚ every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by a boldface Q it was thus named in 1895 byPeano after quoziente‚ Italian for "quotient". The decimal expansion of a rational number always either terminates after a finite number of digits or begins to repeat the

In mathematics‚ a real number is a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line. The real numbers include all the rational numbers‚ such as the integer −5 and the fraction 4/3‚ and all the irrational numbers such as √2 (1.41421356... the square root of two‚ an irrational algebraic number) and π (3.14159265...‚ a transcendental number). Real numbers can be thought of as points on an infinitely long line called the number line or real line‚ where the points corresponding to integers are
