Fibonacci's Story
by: Kelli Nipper
Fibonacci's sequence of numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...) was introduced
by the following problem:
Suppose rabbits breed in such a way that each pair of adult rabbits
produces a pair of baby rabbits each month. The first month after birth,
the rabbits are adolescents and produce no off-spring. However, beginning
with the second month, the rabbits are adults and each pair produces a pair
of offspring every month.
