Fibonacci lived for around 80 years! kool right?He is a mathematic, who used bunnys to do a cool thing. yeah he is cool except i have to do and EPW on him :( that makes me sad love you all Where does his book Liber Abaci come in to play?

Including Prison Break reference?[change source]

I was thinking about including the reference to the name Fibonnaci from Prison Break. He's named several times and he's used as bait to arrest John Abruzzi in the series.

I think if is done, it should be a separate entry, like Fibonacci (Prison Break). --Eptalon (talk) 12:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. His nickname Fibonacci was taken from his father, whose name was Bonacci.[source?]
  2. Fibonacci means son of (a) Bonacci.<:ref>"Who was Fibonacci?". Retrieved 5 March 2011. Fibonacci is a shortening of the Latin "filius Bonacci", used in the title of his book Libar Abaci (of which mmore later), which means "the son of Bonaccio". His father's name was Guglielmo Bonaccio. Fi'-Bonacci is like the English names of Robin-son and John-son. But (in Italian) Bonacci is also the plural of Bonaccio; therefore, two early writers on Fibonacci (Boncompagni and Milanesi) regard Bonacci as his family name (as in "the Smiths" for the family of John Smith).</ref>
  3. His mother was Alessandra Larracocci, who died when Fibonacci was 9 years old.[source?]
  4. He also had a sister named Danica.[source?] He is considered the "Father of Mathematics".[who?]
