📜🎶1222. 800 years ago Leonardo Bonacci from #Pisa, #Italy, later worldwide known as Fibonacci, introduced his numbers sequence, still today one of the most used and referred formulas in mathematics.
#Fibonacci was son of the most important merchant in Pisa at the time, and he travelled for years in North Africa and Middle East countries for trading. His passion for numbers grew in those years and he is considered the main "responsible" for introducing the "Indo-Persian-Arabic" numbering system (1-9) in Europe and in the Western world.
He added to it the "0" which was unknown: 👉 Venice (another prominent Maritime Republic in the Mediterranean, longtime rival of Pisa) later named this figure as "zero".
The #FibonacciSequence (today denoted as "Fn") is a sequence of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...)
Later studies confirmed that this sequence can be found everywhere in nature 🌳 and applied in all fields of life, from physics, to medicine, to economy...
The Fibonacci Sequence was often applied in Cassical Music too, by "translating" numbers into notes which resulted in repeating the same sequence after 16 notes... uncountable examples can be found in modern music too, especially in Progressive Rock.
This track👇🎧 is presented as one of today examples, Lateralus by #Tool: I'm not a musician so I confess I don't quite get it, but I'm sure some musician here can help.
