Fibonacci numbers date back to an 800-year-old problem concerning the number of offspring born in a single year to a pair of rabbits. This book offers the solution and explores the occurrence of Fibonacci numbers in number theory, continued fractions, and geometry. A discussion of the "golden section" rectangle, in which the lengths of the sides can be expressed as a ration of two successive Fibonacci numbers, draws upon attempts by ancient and medieval thinkers to base aesthetic and philosophical principles on the beauty of these figures. Recreational readers as well as students and teachers will appreciate this light and entertaining treatment of a classic puzzle.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The coolest numbers...

    I was introduced to the Fibonacci numbers in college, and really hadn't given them much though till recently.

    This is a very good, informative and entertaining (I mean, as far as math books go!) little volume that I have found useful in my quest for personal research on this subject.

    The book is in great shape, very fast delivery...what more can you want?

    4.0 out of 5 stars For those willing to dig for gold, it is there
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2015
    This book is a short but valuable discussion of one of the most important, useful and famous series in mathematics: the Fibonnaci series. This series is the origin of the "Golden Ratio" of the Greeks, which is important in demographics, architecture, biology, painting and aesthetics in general. It is also connected to prime number theory. It demonstrates in "simple" terms some of the properties of this series beyond the obvious consequences of the definition. The author Vorob'ev (or Vorobyov) is almost unknown in America, but was a Soviet mathematician who founded the Soviet school of Game Theory.
    This is a dense book, meant for mathematicians. After a brief introduction defining the series and discussing its origin, Vorob'ev plunges straight into an analysis of some of the more obscure aspects of Fibonacci numbers, including sums of Fibonacci numbers, of alternating Fibonacci numbers, squares of Fibonacci numbers, their relationship to binomial expansion, and that is just for openers. For those willing to dig for gold, it is there. If you're not willing to dig, don't get this book. Like old age, it's not for sissies!
