I'm trying to find the actual equation of the Fibonacci sequence, and I want one that I can put into the seq() option of my calculator, not

Code: Select all

F(n)=F(n-1)+F(n-2)
Can anyone help me out here?

That is 'the' equation, but if you'd like an explicit version, it's at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FibonacciNumber.html

Don't know if it's what you're looking for, but you should find something helpful there.

EEK! Old forums members revival? w00t, now if T-nm, Hitoshi and Justin Whales would come back too :excited:


(sorry if it was off-topic, I just got carried away by seeing an old forum member for the first time in about 3-4 months, the old forum seems to have died with lot of its members)
