This is the Fibonnaci sequence... It is an interesting sequence.... If you take the ratio of 2 consecutive number it is really close the the Golden Number (or golden ratio)
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ....Last edited by Chambokl; 01-08-2013 at 09:49 PM.

Trust me Shark.... the square root of a number is always and only positive....
That is why in example 3, you have to use the plus and minus sign in front of the square root!!

My understanding has been that one asks for the square root of a non-negative real number one is implicitly asking for the principal square root of that number, which is itself a postive number. However, postive real numbers also have negative square roots. If one wishes to express that mathematically, then a minus sign would be placed before the square root symbol. Finally, if one wanted both the positive and the negative roots, then one would place the + and - signs before the symbol for square root. Is this not correct?

Awesome... and make sure they are straight... Oh sorry, you always hit straight (from what I remember)... Enjoy yourself...
Since you like the Fibonnaci sequence here is another one.... Take any 2 numbers and do your own sequence following the Fibonnaci idea.
Example..... I will take 71 and 12
71, 12, 83, 95, 178, 273, 451, 724, 1175, 1899, ....
Now divide 2 consecutive numbers 1899/1175 = 1.61617 which is close to the Golden Number (1.618)
You could spend a couple of nights reading about the beauty of the Golden Number....If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
