Leonardo Fibonacci had decided to take numbers starting with "one": by adding each number to the one preceding, he produced a string of numbers that had very interesting properties. So one plus zero makes one; one and one = two; two and one = three; three and two = five; five and three = eight… and so on.

Fibonacci was something of a mystic, having studied among the Arabs who believed all numbers had magical properties. He discovered that the formula describing the relationship between each of his numbers—which was one-half the square root of five minus one (V2 (√5—1))—also described the structure of everything in nature that formed a spiral.
