This sequence exhibits a certain numerical pattern which originated as the answer to an exercise in the
first ever high school algebra text and turned out to have an interest and importance far beyond what its
creator imagined. It can be used to model or describe an amazing variety of phenomena, in mathematics
and science, art and nature. It is also characterized by the fact that every number after the first two is
the sum of the preceding two terms. What is the name of this sequence?
