1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55... and then the numbers go on and on and on... Fibonacci - a/k/a Leonardo of Pisa - Famous for The Fibonacci Sequence of Numbers...

This is what they LOOK LIKE if You use The Fibonacci Numbers as The Diameter of a Series of Circles... HE ALSO brought the ZERO from Arabia to Europe - Before Fibonacci, They Used Roman Numerals (and They Really Suck) - and He Invented COST ACCOUNTING!

fibonacci sequence - diameters of circles


I remember that in High School we Had After School Clubs... For Example: the Chess Club... and The Fibonacci Adoration Society of America... It was a Club where everyone was the President... There were no Meetings or Goals... The Entire Purpose was to Allow The Students to Publish the Fact That They Were President of a Math Club in High School. A Way to Fool Colleges... Some Schools, Like Stanford, Harvard and Yale, are impressed by such things... The Goal of the Club was to PAD OUR RESUME! Teaching us to GAME THE SYSTEM!

AND Another Club That I CANNOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF... but it's Mission was to Fight Racism... and I Remember the Names of Two Members: Deb McLean and Richard Bergholdt... Do any of You Remember the Name of that Club and If we actually DID Anything? I Remember a Meeting but What HAPPENED I do not Know... FYI: My Real Name is Gregory Vanderlaan (LGHS 1972)


Fibonacci (1170 – 1240–50),[6] also known as Leonardo BonacciLeonardo of Pisa, or Leonardo Bigollo Pisano ('Leonardo the Traveller from Pisa'[7]), was an Italian mathematician from the Republic of Pisa, considered to be "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages".[8] The name he is commonly called, Fibonacci, was made up in 1838 by the Franco-Italian historian Guillaume Libri[9][10] and is short for filius Bonacci ('son of Bonacci').[11][b] However, even earlier in 1506 a notary of the Holy Roman Empire, Perizolo mentions Leonardo as "Lionardo Fibonacci".[12]

Fibonacci popularized the Hindu–Arabic numeral system in the Western world primarily through his composition in 1202 of Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation).[13][14] He also introduced Europe to the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, which he used as an example in Liber Abaci.[15]

Javascript Color Table Program by gvan42

Javascript Color Table Art by gvan42... I Wrote a Program to Calculate the Background Colors in an HTML TABLE... It's all based on counters that start at ZERO and count up to 255 using a random number step... and then reset to ZERO when the Value Exceeds 255... It's Possible to Define a Color using three numbers between 0 and 255... One Number for Red, One For Green and One for Blue...

That Cello Video of Beethoven's 5th and Led Zeppelin reminded me of a JOHN CAGE Concert I went To. He Used a Compass to Draw Circles on Music Staff Paper... and Cellos played PORTAMENTO NOTES that fell on the Circles... Abstract Beatnik Music at the National Academy of Sciences Concert Hall... an indoor venue that looks like the inside of a Blimp!

John Cage was Truly a Bebop Cubist Goofball...

Bringing the Zero Home - Fibonacci - In Reality the "Roman Numerals" are hard to use for MATH - Having ZERO is a Great Advantage...

The Number Zero was invented in India  and then taught to Arabian Traders. Fibonacci learned from them and soon all of Europe had discarded Roman Numerals. He also invented the Cash Accounting Business Principles Still Used Today.

Fibonacci Sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, [13+21], [last two digits added together]

Inspired by Fibonacci... I Wrote The Vanderlaan sequence:
4, 42, 420, 4201, 42012, 420123 etc. etc etc... What's NeXT?


4201234, 42012345, 420123456, 4201234567 etc etc etc...

It has a practical use: Handy for naming .jpg files on the same subject. For example: What if I wanted a Series of Pictures to be in NUMERICAL ORDER... and then LATER I wanted to Insert a Picture Right in the Middle...

4 really long file name with accurate and meaningful keywords including my name and where.jpg

42 really long file name with accurate and meaningful keywords including my name and where.jpg

Later, I added a Picture Called:

43 really long file name with accurate and meaningful keywords including my name and where.jpg

There is Plenty of room between 42 and 420 to name pictures... Especially Valuable for Animated GIF... Because GIMP LOADS an Entire Folder of Pictures In Numerical Order. 

420 really long file name with accurate and meaningful keywords including my name and where.jpg

4201, 42012, 420123 etc etc etc

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
