"Fibonacci"

Leonardo of Pisa or Leonardo Pisano (c.1175-1250), also known as Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician and is best known for the invention of the Fibonacci numbers, and for his role in the introduction to Europe of the modern Arabic positional decimal system for writing and manipulating numbers.

One wonders how some words slip into the mind.....but when they do, round and round they go, all day.
