Another myth!!
Every school child and you the reader, thinks that Fibonacci discovered the Fibonacci series.
WELL YOU ARE WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"In Europe, Fibonacci's Liber Abaci in 1202 described these numbers; the book was meant to introduce the Indian number system and its mathematics which he had learnt in North Africa from Arab teachers.
While a young man growing up there, Fibonacci speaks of his education in North Africa thus: ("):
My father, who had been appointed by his country as public notary in the customs at Bugia acting for the Pisan merchants going there, summoned me to him while I was still a child, and having an eye to usefulness and future convenience, desired me to stay there and receive instruction in the school of accounting. There, when I had been introduced to the art of the Indians' nine symbols through remarkable teaching, knowledge of the art very soon pleased me above all else and I came to understand it."
