Fibonacci (Leonardo of Pisa; 1170–1240) lived and worked as a merchant and mathematician in Pisa, Italy. He was one of the most illustrious European scientists of his time. Among his greatest achievements was the introduction of Arabic numerals to supersede Roman numerals.
He developed the Fibonacci summation series:
The mathematical series trends asymptotically (that is, approaching slower and slower) toward a constant ratio. However, this ratio is irrational; it has a never-ending, unpredictable sequence of decimal values stringing after it. It can never be expressed exactly. Dividing any number in the series by its preceding value (e.g., 13/8 or 21/13) results in a ratio that oscillates around the irrational number 1.61803398875 … , being higher than the ratio one time and lower the next.
