  2. Leonardo Fibonacci • In 1202, Fibonacci proposed a problem about the growth of rabbit populations.

  3. Leonardo Fibonacci • In 1202, Fibonacci proposed a problem about the growth of rabbit populations.

  4. Leonardo Fibonacci • In 1202, Fibonacci proposed a problem about the growth of rabbit populations.

  5. The rabbit reproduction model • A rabbit lives forever • The population starts as a single newborn pair • Every month, each productive pair begets a new pair which will become productive after 2 months old • Fn= # of rabbit pairs at the beginning of the nth month

  12. Inductive Definition or Recurrence Relation for theFibonacci Numbers Stage 0, Initial Condition, or Base Case: Fib(1) = 1; Fib (2) = 1 Inductive Rule For n>3, Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2)

  14. Sneezwort (Achilleaptarmica) Each time the plant starts a new shoot it takes two months before it is strong enough to support branching.

  15. Counting Petals • 5 petals: buttercup, wild rose, larkspur, columbine (aquilegia) 8 petals: delphiniums 13 petals: ragwort, corn marigold, cineraria, some daisies • 21 petals: aster, black-eyed susan, chicory 34 petals: plantain, pyrethrum 55, 89 petals: michaelmas daisies, the asteraceae family.

  16. Pineapple whorls • Church and Turing were both interested in the number of whorls in each ring of the spiral. The ratio of consecutive ring lengths approaches the Golden Ratio.

  19. Let’s take a break from the Fibonacci Numbers in order to remark on polynomial division.

  20. 1 + X + X2 1 – X 1 -(1 – X) X2 X3 X -(X – X2) -(X2 – X3) 1 + X + X2 + X3 + X4+ X5 + X6 + X7 + … = How to divide polynomials? 1 ? 1 – X …

  21. Xn+1 - 1 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn-1 + Xn = X- 1 The Geometric Series

  22. Xn+1 - 1 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn-1 + Xn = X- 1 • The limit as n goes to infinity of = - 1 Xn+1 - 1 X- 1 X- 1 = 1 1 - X

  23. 1 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn + ….. = 1 - X The Infinite Geometric Series

  24. 1 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn + ….. = 1 - X • (X-1) ( 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn + … ) • = X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn + Xn+1 + …. • - 1 - X1 - X2 - X 3 - … - Xn-1 – Xn - Xn+1 - … • = 1

  25. 1 1 + X1 + X2 + X 3 + … + Xn + ….. = 1 - X 1 + X 1 – X 1 -(1 – X) X2 X3 X -(X – X2) + X2 + … -(X2 – X3) …

  26. X + X2 + 2X3 + 3X4 + 5X5 + 8X6 1 – X – X2 X -(X – X2 – X3) X2 + X3 -(X2 – X3 – X4) 2X3 + X4 -(2X3 – 2X4 – 2X5) 3X4 + 2X5 -(3X4 – 3X5 – 3X6) 5X5 + 3X6 8X6 + 5X7 -(5X5 – 5X6 – 5X7) -(8X6 – 8X7 – 8X8) Something a bit more complicated X 1 – X – X2

  27. Hence X • = F0 1 + F1 X1 + F2 X2 +F3 X3 + F4 X4 + F5 X5 + F6 X6 + … 1 – X – X2 • = 01 + 1 X1 + 1 X2 + 2X3 + 3X4 + 5X5 + 8X6 + …

  28. Going the Other Way • (1 - X- X2)  ( F0 1 + F1 X1 + F2 X2 + … + Fn-2 Xn-2 + Fn-1 Xn-1 + Fn Xn + … • = ( F0 1 + F1 X1 + F2 X2 + … + Fn-2 Xn-2 + Fn-1 Xn-1 + Fn Xn + … • - F0 X1 - F1 X2 - … - Fn-3 Xn-2 - Fn-2 Xn-1 - Fn-1 Xn - … • - F0 X2 - … - Fn-4 Xn-2 - Fn-3 Xn-1 - Fn-2 Xn - … • = F0 1 + ( F1 – F0 ) X1 F0 = 0, F1 = 1 = X

  29. Thus • F0 1 + F1 X1 + F2 X2 + … + Fn-1 Xn-1 + Fn Xn + … X = 1 – X – X2

  30. I was trying to get away from them!

  31. Sequences That Sum To n • Let fn+1 be the number of different sequences of 1’s and 2’s that sum to n. • Example: f5 = 5 • 4 = 2 + 2 • 2 + 1 + 1 • 1 + 2 + 1 • 1 + 1 + 2 • 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

  32. Sequences That Sum To n • Let fn+1 be the number of different sequences of 1’s and 2’s that sum to n. f2 = 1 1 = 1 f1 = 1 0 = the empty sum f3 = 2 2 = 1 + 1 2

  33. # of sequences beginning with a 2 # of sequences beginning with a 1 Sequences That Sum To n • Let fn+1 be the number of different sequences of 1’s and 2’s that sum to n. fn+1 = fn + fn-1

  34. Fibonacci Numbers Again • Let fn+1 be the number of different sequences of 1’s and 2’s that sum to n. fn+1 = fn + fn-1 f1 = 1 f2 = 1

  35. Visual Representation: Tiling • Let fn+1 be the number of different ways to tile a 1 X n strip with squares and dominoes.

  36. Visual Representation: Tiling • Let fn+1 be the number of different ways to tile a 1 X n strip with squares and dominoes.

  37. Visual Representation: Tiling • 1 way to tile a strip of length 0 • 1 way to tile a strip of length 1: • 2 ways to tile a strip of length 2:

  38. fn+1 = fn + fn-1 • fn+1 is number of ways to title length n. • fn tilings that start with a square. • fn-1 tilings that start with a domino.

  39. Let’s use this visual representation to prove a couple of Fibonacci identities.

  40. Fibonacci Identities • The Fibonacci numbers have many unusual properties. The many properties that can be stated as equations are called Fibonacci identities. • Ex: Fm+n+1 = Fm+1 Fn+1 + Fm Fn

  41. m n m-1 n-1 Fm+n+1 = Fm+1 Fn+1 + Fm Fn

  42. (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n

  43. n-1 (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n Fn tilings of a strip of length n-1

  44. n-1 n-1 (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n

  45. (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n n (Fn)2 tilings of two strips of size n-1

  46. (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n n Draw a vertical “fault line” at the rightmost position (<n) possible without cutting any dominoes

  47. (Fn)2 = Fn-1 Fn+1 + (-1)n n Swap the tails at the fault line to map to a tiling of 2 n-1 ‘s to a tiling of an n-2 and an n.
