Leonardo Pisano or Fibonacci (his nickname) was born in Italy but was educated in North Africa.

His father held a diplomatic post in Africa. He was considered by some to be the most talented mathematician of the Middle Ages. Fibonacci was taught mathematics in Bugia. Then he travelled widely with his father. Fibonacci ended his travels around the year 1200 and he returned to Pisa. There he wrote an important texts which reviving ancient mathematical skills. Fibonacci was a contemporary of Jordanus, but he was a far more sophisticated mathematician and his achievements were clearly recognised, although it was the practical applications rather than the abstract theorems that made him famous to his contemporaries. Books written by Fibonacci are Liber Abaci (a book on calculations introducing Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe published in 1202), Practica Geometriae (a compendium on geometry and trigonometry published in 1220), Flos (solutions to problems posed by Johannes of Palermo published in 1225), and Liber quadratorum, (The Book of Squares on Diophantine equations, dedicated to Emperor Frederick II) He is well known for his contribution in Mathematics field especially in Calculus. He introduce the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Europe, primarily through the publication in the early 13th century of his Book of Calculation, the Liber Abaci. In the Liber Abaci (1202), Fibonacci introduces the so-called modus Indorum (method of the Indians). Today it is known as Arabic numerals. The book advocated numeration with the digits 09 and place value. The book also showed the practical importance of the new numeral system, using lattice multiplication and Egyptian fractions, by applying it to commercial bookkeeping, conversion of weights and measures, the calculation of interest, money-changing, and other applications. The book was well received throughout educated Europe and had a profound impact on European thought. Liber Abaci also posed, and solved, a problem involving the growth of a population of rabbits based on idealized assumptions. The solution, generation by generation, was a sequence of numbers later known as Fibonacci numbers. The number sequence was known to Indian mathematicians as early as the 6th century but it was Fibonacci's Liber Abaci that introduced it to the West. In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers, starting with 0 and 1. This sequence begins 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987... The higher up in the sequence, the closer two consecutive "Fibonacci numbers" of the sequence divided by each other will approach the golden ratio. Besides that, he also known for other aspects. First, Fibonacci prime, it is a Fibonacci number that is prime (a type of integer sequence prime). The first Fibonacci primes are 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, 433494437, 2971215073, .... Second, Brahmagupta's identity or Fibonacci's identity. It implies that the product of two sums of two squares is itself a sum of two squares. Third is the Fibonacci polynomial. It is a polynomial sequence which can be considered as a generalisation of the Fibonacci numbers. And lastly the Fibonacci word it. It is a specific sequence of binary digits (or symbols from any two-letter alphabet). The Fibonacci word is formed by repeated concatenation in the same way that the Fibonacci numbers are formed by repeated addition.
