    Biography

    ● Born in Pisa in 1170

    ● Worked for his father who was a merchant

    ● They traveled throughout the area in the Mediterranean

    ● His Father was posted at a trading center in 1192 in the city of Bugia

    ● Educated in Bugia, a city in north east Algeria

    ● When my father, who had been appointed by his country as public notary in the customs

    at Bugia acting for the Pisan merchants going there, was in charge, he 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, for

    whatever was studied by the art in Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Provence, in all its

    various forms.(Quote from Liber Abaci about his stay in Bugia)(Do not put in

    Presentation)

    ● Became acquainted with the Arabic numeral system and the greek classics which had

    been lost in the west but preserved during the Golden Age of Islam
    Joel Faglier and Trey Tyre

    ● Stopped traveling around 1200 and settled back in Pisa for about 25 years began working

    on his book Liber Abaci and other mathematical works.

    ● Worked under Frederick the 2nd of the Holy Roman Empire

    ● Believed to have died around 1250

    ● Map of the Mediterranean focused on Pisa and Bugia

    Works

    ● Liber Abaci (The Book of Calculations)

    ● Fibonacci would introduce the Hindu-Arbic numeral system in this work which included

    the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 0

    ● He also introduced basic Arabic rules for working with these numbers such as fractions

    being to the left on integers and the use of the fraction bar

    ● Also included exchange rates, word problems, and calculation of interest

    ● Practica geometriae which discussed mostly quadratic equations

    ● Flos a letter sent to Fredrick II in response to problems sent to him by Johannes of

    Palermo which was friend of his and a member of Fredrick’s Court

    ● Fibonacci Sequence which is the first recurrence series

    ● Image of the Fibonacci sequence

    Broader impact on the west

    ● He is called “the first great mathematician of the Christian West”

    ● Fabionnaci was a westerner who was educated in the east and took the knowledge that he

    acquired and revolutionized the west.

    ● Fibonacci introducing this new system replaced the old roman numeral system and

    revolutionized how business and accounting was done


    Joel Faglier and Trey Tyre

    ● This system that Fibonacci popularized is still in use today and his Fibionnaci sequence is

    still used today in modern day computer science

    Impact on the Islamic World

    ● Fibionnaci was responsible for sharing the Hindu-Arabic Numeral system to not only the

    west but also to common Arabs

    ● This type of mathematics was only used in Math and Science but Fibonacci introduced

    this form of scientific calculation to Arab businessmen
