Fibonacci Numbers
Its a good essay, for a Math project. Well don, although you could have had more specific examples. The Fibonacci numbers were first discovered by a man named Leonardo Pisano. He was known by his nickname, Fibonacci. The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each term is the sum of the 2 numbers preceding it. The first 10 Fibonacci numbers are: (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89).

This means all its powers are just whole multiples of itself plus another whole integer (and guess what these whole integers are? Yes! The Fibonacci numbers again!) Fibonacci numbers are a big factor in Math, The Golden Ratio, The Pascal Triangle, the production of many species, plants, and much much more.
