SEQUENCES IN REAL WORLD
Trivia: Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating
visual and expressing the author’s imaginative or technical
skill. Art and Math may at first seem to e very differing
things, but people who enjoy math tend to look for
mathematics in art. There’s a large amount of math involved
in art, basic things like measuring and lines, but the
intricacies of art can often be described using math.
Mathematician Henry Segerman, says art gives people a
reason to engage with the math, especially if they typically
shy away from the subject

Fibonacci Sequence
Fibonacci realized the numerous advantages of the
HinduArabic numeral system is the most common
representation of numbers, at the time it was known only
to a few scholars in Europe. In 1202, Fibonacci completed
Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation), a book on the Hindu
Arabic numerals and their use in arithmetical operations
and practical problems. Liber Abaci was widely copied
and imitated;and was instrumental in popularizing the
Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Europe.
