In Fibonacci's 1202 math textbook, which animal's breeding problem accidentally produced the famous number sequence bearing his name?
Answer
Rabbits
Fibonacci posed a hypothetical problem about how quickly a pair of rabbits could multiply in his book Liber Abaci, and the solution generated the sequence now named after him.
💡 Did you know?
A medieval Italian merchant's math textbook accidentally created one of history's most famous sequences—Fibonacci's rabbit problem was likely just a random example, not intentionally profound.
