Leonardo Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo of Pisa or Leonardo Bigollo, was an Italian mathematician born in Pisa, Italy, around the year 1175. He is best known for introducing the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to the Western world and for his famous sequence of numbers, now known as the Fibonacci sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fibonacci was born into a wealthy merchant family and traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean region as a young man. During his travels, he was introduced to the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, which was more efficient than the Roman numeral system that was widely used in Europe at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1202, Fibonacci published a book called “Liber Abaci,” which introduced the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to the Western world. The book also contained mathematical solutions to various practical problems, including trade and commerce, and introduced the concept of algebra to the Western world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
