Fibonacci (Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo of Pisa) has been covered here, and the Fibonacci sequence. If you go to the Fibonacci sequence page and examine those calculations; his ability as a mathematician was stunning. Another in a long list of Tuscans who advanced human knowledge in a dramatic way.

 

'Five Ways to Celebrate Fibonacci Day on November 23'

November 23 is celebrated as Fibonacci day because when the date is written in the mm/dd format (11/23), the digits in the date form a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3.

November 23 is celebrated as Fibonacci day because when the date is written in the mm/dd format (11/23), the digits in the date form a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3. The Fibonacci sequence begins like this:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144…

The sequence follows a fairly simple pattern: every two numbers, when added together, equal the following number.

While this seems simple, once you begin to see the sequence in things such as the pattern of a pine cone or the petals on a daisy, it starts to seem downright incredible!

Computer data storage and processing uses this number sequence today. The sequence is also useful in the trading of stocks and architecture. Another unexpected place we find the sequence is in nature, for example in hurricanes and DNA patterns. The Fibonacci sequence can be referred to as “nature’s secret code” or “nature’s universal rule.” Here are a few ways to celebrate Fibonacci Day:

1) Plan a Fibonacci feast.

The Fibonacci sequence occurs very frequently in common fruits and vegetables and when prepared together, these foods make for a fun meal! Prepare things like artichokes, pineapple, Romanesco and pomegranate to see how the sequence occurs in nature.

2) Take a Fibonacci-inspired nature walk.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to easily discover Fibonacci sequence in flowers, trees, and much more. Take a nature walk and inspect things like pinecones, ferns, daisies, sunflowers, and snails, since all of these things are made up of Fibonacci numbers.

Fibonacci: Sacred Geometry in Nature

 
The above video is part of a short movie from Spain inspired by Fibonacci, numbers, geometry, and nature. As remarkable as it it today to witness science decoding of the codes of nature, Leonardo Fibonacci accomplished a significant part of this in the early 1200's. So significant is the "Fibonacci sequence" that it is just as relevant today. Using the scientific method of the Fibonacci number sequence, American Dr. Stephen Marquardt was able to tie these mathmatics to the beauty ratio of the human face. Sometimes the image of the core of the shell of a snail or of marine life is used as a symbol of the "Fibonacci number." This number code exists deep in nature.

Fibonacci (Wikipedia)

Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (c. 1170 – c. 1250) – known as Fibonacci, and also Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci – was an Italian mathematician, considered by some "the most talented western mathematician of the Middle Ages."

Fibonacci is best known to the modern world for the spreading of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system in Europe, primarily through his composition in 1202 of Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation), and for a number sequence named the Fibonacci numbers after him, which he did not discover but used as an example in the Liber Abaci.
