This piece is named for Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1175 - 1250), the great Italian mathematician best remembered for the Fibonacci sequence, the mathematical sequence of the Golden Mean. Fibonacci (Leonard of Pisa) played an important role in reviving ancient mathematics and made significant contributions of his own. Fibonacci's other book of major importance, "Practica Geometriae" in 1220 contains a large collection of geometry and trigonometry.
