Childhood Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci was born in Pisa Italy. And lived with his father, Guilielmo who brought Fibonacci on his travels, Which were in North Africa. Where Fibonacci was educated, in places like Mediterranean port, Algeria, cape carbon, and mount gouraya. Traveling around North Africa he learned the enormous advantages that mathematics had in all the countries he visited with his father. Making him pursue in math. His travels finally ended in 1200.
Education Fibonacci's early education was in North Africa while traveling with his father. As far as his college Fibonacci lived in a time where colleges didn't exist but his advanced studies led him to finding Arabic/Hindu numerals. And writing books explaining his theories and findings. Making The Liber Abbaci in 1202, which explained calculating arithmetic and algebra he learned in North Africa. Containing numbers, place value, and his famous rabbit problem otherwise known as the Fibonacci sequence. (seen in the background is the Bigollo Spiral, another nickname for Fibonacci was Bigollo meaning traveler).
Accomplishments Key contributions to Fibonacci's success was his books explaining his work such as Liber Abbaci(1202),Practica Geomatriae(1220),Flos(1225) and Liber Quadratorum(1225). Fibonacci was said to have been one of the most talented mathematicians in the west in the Middle Ages in the 12th-13th centuries . His work influenced many mathematicians. Edouard Cucas stumbled onto Fibonacci numbers and he gave them the name "the Fibonacci sequence". Which the name is still used today. (seen in the background in Turku Finland is the "Tower" which is actually a smokestack on a factory with the Fibonacci sequence on it)
Accomplishments #2 Edouard Cucas wasn't the only mathematician who noticed Fibonacci. Jordan worked with Fibonacci in Pisa all though he wasn't as skilled as Fibonacci he reported to emperor Frederick the second who met Fibonacci and became great friends with. Lastly Michael scotus studied his work and eventually led to talk to the emperor a second time on Fibonacci's behalf. Inventions such as the Fibonacci sequence and the bigollo spiral(page3). Are still used today by millions of people. (seen in the background is the Fibonacci statue in Pisa Italy).
Historical Revelance The year the Liber Abbaci was published in 1202, famine hit Egypt and wouldn't recover for 2 years! Also the fourth Crusade began. In 1220 the year Fibonacci published his second book Practica Geomatriae his great friend emperor Fredrick the Second is crowned ruler of the holy roman empire.
Fibonacci " The whole imposing edifice of Modern Medicine is like the celebrated Tower of Pisa -Slightly off balance."-Quote by Fibonacci Facts- The Fibonacci Sequence is a pattern in which the last 2 numbers prior are added to get the next number in the sequence. In Turku Finland on the "Tower" are the fibonacci numbers. The Bigollo Spiral is a spiral broken into quarter circle arcs inscribed with Fibonacci's integers(Fibonacci's sequence). Fibonacci was born in Pisa Italy in 1170 and died in Pisa Italy in 1250.
