Evolution of the Mind: A Case for Design Literacy

摘要

In the year 1202, a mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa published a book that changed the world. To many he is known as Fibonacci, and he's famous because this sequence of numbers-0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on-bears his name. The Fibonacci series, as it is known, is an algorithm or proportion found in nature, from the bracts of pinecones to DNA molecules, in which the first number of the sequence is 0, the second number is 1, and each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the previous two.
