====== Fibonacci Numbers ====== **Fibonacci numbers** are defined by the following recurrance: $ F_0\ =\ 0,$\\ $ F_1\ =\ 1,$\\ $F_i\ =\ F_{ i-1 } +\ F_{ i-2 }\ for\ i\geq 2.$ Each fibonacci number is the sum of the two previous ones, yielding the sequence $0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55, ...$ Fibonacci numbers are related to the **golden ratio** $\phi$ and to its conjugate $\hat{\phi}$ which are the two roots of the equation: $x^2\ =\ x\ +\ 1$ and are given by the following: $ \phi = \frac{1+\sqrt{ 5 }}{2}$\\ $ \hat{ \phi } = \frac{1-\sqrt{ 5 }}{2} $ Where we have: $F_i = \frac{\phi ^i-\hat{\phi}^i}{\sqrt{5}}$ Fibonacci numbers grow exponentially.
