    Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who lived from 1170 to 1240. While Fibonacci was growing up, he was sent to study mathematics with an Arab master. Once he finished studying, he began to travel to other countries to study their mathematics and calculations (Encyclopedia Britannica). In 1202, Fibonacci published his book that was entitled Liber Abaci or Book of the Counting. In this book, he used Hindu-Arabic numbers. This is the number system that we are using today.

    the effect- does nature follow these numbers and concepts that we make up, or did we make up all of these things to better understand how nature behaves. In math, fractals are a geometric figures but they come from the world of sequences. They are the result of a graphical representation of the iterations of polynomial equations. The most famous graph, the Mandelbrot Set, is the graphical solution of z=z2+c where c is a constant and z is the resulting number from the previous iteration. To make

    or disprove the claim. Mathematics as an area of knowledge is helpful because it uses logic and reason through values and shapes to present patterns and it is the most common form of patterns. Also in math we can look at imaginary and irrational numbers as well as geometry to determine if cognitive bias causes pareidolia in logical patterns. My claim for human sciences is that human sciences show

    1. Introduction Fibonacci sequence is one of the most famous and perhaps the most interesting number patterns in mathematics. Far from being just a curiosity, this sequence recurs in structures found throughout nature - from the arrangement of whorls on a pinecone to the branches of certain plant stems. Other than nature, numerous examples of the Fibonacci sequence as well as its derivative, the Golden Ratio can be found in art, a stock market, and other areas of society and culture. In the paper
