Accomplishments #2
Edouard Cucas wasn't the only mathematician wasn't the only one 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).
