Maths - Fibonacci Series Generator

Introduction:

This page allows you to quickly generate the starting elements of the classic Fibonacci series. You may choose between a numbered list, or an unformatted sequence of results. Both will have exactly the same entries / results. Please note that beyond 103 values, the standard precision of your computer will start to display in what is known as 'Exponential' notation. At 1,478 iterations, the series will reach infinity as far as Javascript is concerned. Both of these situations are a direct result of the built-in numbering handling of your browser.
If you need more precision and/or larger numbers, then use the Expanded Fibonacci Series generator, which will retain full precision (almost) infinitely, but this comes at the price of significantly slower operation.
The Fibonacci Series was named after the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, who was one of the first to study it, in the 13th century. It is an 'arithmetic-sequence' of numbers, starting with zero and one. For a more generic generator, visit the: Arithmetic Series Generator in the Maths section of this site. It is defined as an increasing series of numbers, where each member is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers.
The Fibonacci Series shows up all over nature. The pattern shows up naturally everywhere in nature including flowers, pinecones, hurricanes, and even huge spiral galaxies in space. The Fibonacci Series doesn't just stop at nature - it also appears in architecture & graphic design, where it is referred to as 'the Golden Ratio'.
