He was the son of Guilielmo and a member of the Bonacci family. Fibonacci himself sometimes used the name Bigollo, which may mean good-for-nothing or a traveller. As stated in [1]:- Did his countrymen wish to express by this epithet their disdain for a man who concerned himself with questions of no practical value, or does the word in the Tuscan dialect mean a much-travelled man, which he was? Fibonacci was born in Italy but was educated in North Africa where his father, Guilielmo, held a diplomatic post. His father's job was to represent the merchants of the Republic of Pisa who were trading in Bugia, later called Bougie and now called Bejaia. Bejaia is a Mediterranean port in northeastern Algeria. The town lies at the mouth of the Wadi Soummam near Mount Gouraya and Cape Carbon. Fibonacci was taught mathematics in Bugia and travelled widely with his father and recognised the enormous advantages of the mathematical systems used in the countries they visited. Fibonacci writes in his famous book Liber abaci 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.

Fibonacci Forgeries Introduction Leonardo Fibonacci was known for many things. One of which and probably his most famous was the Fibonacci Numbers, which is a number sequence that he had discovered while solving a problem about rabbits. There is a lot more details that will be addressed about discoveries on a later note in this report. He was best known for his discovery of the Fibonacci Sequence. Biography From 529 until 1500 A.D. there was no big improvements in European mathmatics. Except for Fibonacci, who was a great 13th century mathematician. He was born in Pisa, Italy, and was the son of a pisan merchant. Fibonacci was best known as Leonardo of Pisa. His father was also a customs officer for the North African city of Bugia. Since Fibonacci(born in 1175) was the son of a merchant, he was able to travel freely all over the Byzantine Empire and received a North African education. Merchants at the time were immuned, so they were allowed to move about freely. This allowed him to visit many of the area's centers of trade. While he was there, he was able to learn both European and Hindu-Arabic mathematics which were of popular use at that time with the scholars and the calculating schemes. Soon Fibonacci deduced for himself that the "Hindu-Arabic" number system was much more useful than the common European number system.

Leonardo Fibonacci Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who lived between 1170-1240. He travelled a lot on business with his father and was exposed to many different mathematical techniques used throughout the world. Fibonacci collected these ideas in books, for people to learn without having to travel as he had. His writings introduced Arabic numerals into European mathematics. Fibonacci also made significant contributions to mathematics himself, in number theory and on recursive sequences. He is most famous for the Fibonacci sequence, in which each number is the sum of the previous two.

Leonardo of Pisa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Fibonacci Drawing of Leonardo Pisano Leonardo of Pisa or Leonardo Pisano (c. ), also known as Fibonacci , was an Italian mathematician and is best known for the discovery of the Fibonacci numbers , and for his role in the introduction to Europe of the modern Arabic positional decimal system for writing and manipulating numbers ( algorism Leonardo's father Guilielmo (William) was nicknamed Bonacci ('good natured' or 'simple'). Leonardo was posthumously given the nickname Fibonacci (for filius Bonacci , son of Bonacci). William directed a trading post (by some accounts he was the consul for Pisa ) in Bugia, North Africa (now Bejaia Algeria ), and as a young boy Leonardo traveled there to help him. This is where he learnt about the Arabic numeral system. Perceiving that arithmetic with Arabic numerals is simpler and more efficient than with Roman numerals , Fibonacci travelled throughout the Mediterranean world to study under the leading Arab mathematicians of the time, returning around 1200.
