斐波那契是13世纪初欧洲最杰出的数学家,也是欧洲数学复兴的先驱者。斐波纳契生于意大利的比萨,在儿童时代随经商的的父亲到了阿尔及利亚,在那里学到了许多阿拉伯的算术和代数知识,从而对数学产生了浓厚的兴趣。长大以后,因为他游历了阿拉伯、埃及、叙利亚、希腊、西西里和叙利亚等国家,每到一处他都留心搜集和学习各国数学知识,其中对东方的数学可谓情有独钟。当时不少阿拉伯数学尚未流传到欧 Fibonacci was the most distinguished mathematician in Europe at the beginning of the thirteenth century and a pioneer of the European Renaissance. Born in Pisa, Italy, Fibonacci traveled to Algeria with his business-as-usual father in his childhood, where he learned many Arab math and algebraic knowledge and gained a great deal of interest in mathematics. Since he grew up, because he traveled to Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Syria and other countries, everywhere he is careful to collect and learn math knowledge of various countries, of which the East can be described as a soft spot for math. At that time, quite a few Arabic math was not yet spread to Europe
