Description

The biggest mathematical mystery in nature—Fibonacci numbers! Named after a famous mathematician, the number pattern is simple: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. . . . Each and every number within the sequence comes from adding the 2 numbers before it. What is the mystery? The pattern crops up in probably the most unexpected places. You’ll be able to find it within the disk of a sunflower, the surface of a pineapple, and the spiral of a nautilus shell. No person knows how nature came up with the sequence. Sarah C. and Richard P. Campbell introduce the Fibonacci sequence through a series of stunning photographs on this ALA Notable Children’s Book. Young readers will soon be seeing nature through new eyes, searching for Fibonacci numbers in daisies, pinecones, leaf patterns, seashells, and more.
