Happy Fibonacci Day!
You think you're inventing sequences at your desks, then find them already embedded in nautilus shells and petal arrangements, ancient as anything we'd ever excavate. Makes you wonder what else we're "discovering" that was never actually lost.
Mathematics as archaeology! ❤️
Break out the calculators: November 23 is Fibonacci Sequence Day

The cornerstone of modern math wouldn’t be possible without the Hindu-Arabic numerical system.
