Video with Transcript: Fibonacci Numbers hidden in the Mandelbrot Set - Numberphile

Image
0:00 So, today I'm gonna tell you about how the Fibonacci sequence appears in the Mandelbrot set. 0:04 Hopefully, your mind will be blown by the end of that sentence. 0:06 So the Fibonacci sequence, the rule is that you take the previous two numbers, 0:10 and you add them together to get the next. Right? So we started with 1 1. Their sum is 2. 0:15 The next number will be the sum of 1 & 2, which is 3. 0:19 The sum of 2 & 3 is 5. The sum of 3 & 5 is 8. I'll do one more. 0:24 And then, you can continue on. 0:26 Brady: "Easy." 0:27 Easy, right? And this occurs everywhere that has interesting connections to things in nature, and all of that, 0:31 but I just want to show you where it appears on the Mandelbrot set. 0:35 So, slightly less easy. So, the Mandelbrot set is a special object inside of the complex plane. So the plane of complex numbers. And 0:43 the way you cook this thing up is by 0:46 considering a certain type of dynamical system. So if you give me ...
