Fibonacci Discussion
In the course, we discussed the Fibonacci sequence and how it is applied in various situations. There are several examples of the Fibonacci sequence that can be observed in nature (Shesso, 2014). These examples are indications that the sequence occurs in close to everything around use. The example in nature that I identified that uses the Fibonacci sequence is in trees. Trees are everywhere around us. If one were to analyze the structure of trees and how the branches grow from the trees, they would ascertain a given sequence that is in line with the Fibonacci sequence.
