Counting on Fibonacci
http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathtrek_05_02_04.html
Fibonacci numbers have all sorts of amazing properties and links to
many different kinds of mathematics. They start off with 0, 1, 1, 2,
3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and continue on from there.
Given the first two numbers of the sequence, 0 and 1, each succeeding
number is simply the sum of the previous two numbers.
Technically, you can describe the sequence in the following way:
F0 = 0, F1 = 1, and for n greater than 1, Fn = Fn–1 + Fn–2.
It's possible to interpret Fibonacci numbers in combinatorial terms;
in effect, by counting certain tilings. It turns out that a Fibonnaci
number corresponds to the number of different ways in which you can
tile a board of a given length and unit width with squares and
dominoes.
