The original problem in the Liber Abaci asked how many pairs of rabbits can be generated from a single pair, if each month each mature pair brings forth a new pair, which, from the second month, becomes productive. Aside from an extraordinary wealth of mathematical relationships, there are numerous applications of the Fibonacci numbers in the most diverse fields.
