    i hope math teachers will always tell their students the "why" rather than letting the students to memorise things. I wish i grew up with this videos on youtube.

      +gerry chan This isn't some magic method to avoid memorization and grinding. In his video, he discussed the last of the three points he showed at the beginning. You need memorization and grinding for the first two.

      Sorry, I have to explain what I mean of memorisation. It's more interesting and fun to learn why or how a formula came into being. Not just the algebra manipulation,but the story behind the equation. I hope you get my point.

      @tdcfc 7 лет назад +16

      There's one small problem to that: sometimes the explanation is A LOT harder to understand than simply learning (or memorizing) things. Take the formulas to calculate the area and volume of a sphere for example: it takes knowledge of differentiation and integration to understand how to get to those formulas. I'm not saying some things can't be explained. I'm just pointing out that there's another side of the story.

    This makes sense to me! I remember back in high school I'm always wondering the "why's" for the formula. I mean, math teachers force us to memorize the formula but doesn't explain to us why it was formed, what significance does it has, on what real life scenario we can apply it to.

    In the introduction to his book, Fibonacci (c. 13th century CE) makes the following revelations
    1) "I am the son of an official working in Bugia, Algeria".
    2) There was a colony of Indian Merchants in that city.
    3) "It was there that I was introduced to Indian Mathematics".
    Fibonacci further says-
    " I loved Indian Mathematics to such an extent above all others that I completely devoted myself to it"
    "I was also introduced to Greek, Arabic & Egyptian Math"
    "But I found ALL of them, EVEN Pythagoras, to be erroneous compared to Indian Mathematics"
    Fibonacci further says:
    "For this reason, basing my book COMPLETELY on Indian methods and applying myself with greatest attention to it, but not without adding something of my own thought, I forced myself to compose this book.
    I demonstrated everything with proof"
    Finally, Fibonacci says:
    " In my book, I have published the doctrine of Mathematics completely according to the Method of Indians.
    I have COMPLETELY adopted the (Mathematical) Method of Indians because it is the MOST effective"
    Thus, in his book, Fibonacci does NOT refer to #Fibonacci Series as "Fibonacci Series"
    Rather, he simply calls it "Indian Series".
    Unlike many other Europeans, Fibonacci was NOT a plagiarist.
    He clearly mentioned his source and acknowledged his credit to ancient Indians.
    Fibonacci's introduction makes it clear that he considered himself "Indian Mathematician" insomuch as he adhered to Indian Mathematical Methodology and contributed to it.
    The real name of the so called "Fibonacci Series" is "Indian Series".
    This comes from the horse's mouth !
    So far as the so called "Fibonacci Series" is concerned, Fibonacci was only TRANSLATING the Sutras of Pingala (c.3rd century CE) and his commentator Virahanka who derived "Fibonacci Series" several hundreds of years before Fibonacci was even born .
    I was very shocked reading Fibonacci's introduction. Why are these facts kept concealed?
    A more important question. Why should it be called 'Fibonacci series' when Fibonacci himself does not claim to have discovered it and simply acknowledges Indian Mathematics as his source?
    The precepts of Pythagoras and Euclid were forgotten in early middle ages and revived only later.
    Yet, the credit always goes to Pythagoras and Euclid. Never to the later day Mathematicians who revived their works. Why is Pingala never extended the same courtesy?
    I wonder why!
    Fibonacci was NOT a European Mathematician, except by flesh and blood.
    He explicitly rejected the European methodology of Mathematics. He denounced even the path of Pythagoras as "erroneous".
    He followed footsteps of exemplary Vaidika Mathematicians like Pingala and Virahanka
    Fibonacci does not describe his book as "European Mathematics".
    He explicitly describes his book as " treatise on Indian Mathematical methods".
    As such, it is hard to even consider him a "European Mathematician". He followed the footsteps of Vaidika Sanskritic Mathematicians

    English translation of introduction to Fibonacci's book "Liber Abaci". Published in the scholarly journal Reti Medievali Rivista by Giuseppe Germano (2013)

      Our great Indian ancient mathematitians and scientists have always been underestimated and neglected . I barely understand the reason behind that .Its not only in the case of science and math but also philosophy and others. The European scientists and other westerners evolved long after the Indians and somehow got the ideas and knowledge from the Indians and later the sources were just thrown away . The Indians could have been in the lime light if our Medieval history was a better one , probably.

      For us in Europe the numbers as Fibonacci made them known to us are called "Arabic numbers" and although they are based on Indian numbers, they are written in a significantly different way. Also for us in Europe we call it Fibonacci sequence, I'm sorry to see that it makes you so angry, but I think it's not so important ...

    It's not the fact that teachers can't make math exciting. It's just that math teachers aren't trained to think like mathematicians. Even with a math degree, I can honestly say that I did not realize why adding the squares of Fibonacci numbers resulted in 8x13. It is a beautiful connection but it is a very obscure one that only classically trained mathematicians can see. You can't expect a regular math teacher to generate this kind of material for students because it takes years of mathematical dedication to get to that level.

    Fibonacci was also humble to acknowledge that most important concepts in his Liber Abaci were those which were followed by Indians since ages before him. He thus called it 'Modus Indorum'. Also, the concept of Fibonacci numbers itself is an application of Meru Prastara(now know by many as Pascal's triangle), which was given by Pingalacharya of India (dated before 200BC). So, it is essentially an Indian knowledge which was introduced to Europe by Fibonacci. Love for math, India and Fibonacci..

    I have been researching Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio my entire life and I've never thought of it like this. I always apply φ to concepts like decagons, pentagrams, golden gnomes, golden triangles, golden angles etc. but I never realized the relationship between the squares of the Fibonacci sequences. I guess that could be an approximation of φ^2=1+ φ. Now I am inspired to take another step into my golden ratio journey and re-discover the art of geometric applications of φ. From now on I will find y, not x.

Around 200 BC, he also discovered and used the "Meru Prastarah" extensively, which is known today as "Pascal's Triangle."
