I remember learning Fibonacci in the 4th grade. When that one guy mentioned it, I remembered.
Really? Well, assuming that that sequence of numbers holds up, the people possessing the next links in the ensuing chain should have multiple opportunities to marvel at their encounters.:
Martin Bohm: My son doesn’t even talk.
Prof. Arthur Teller: Unnecessary, outdated. An evolutionary speed bump, like your pinky toe. He had any formal math training?
Bohm: No, why?
Teller: Mr. Bohm, your son is one of those kids. He discovered the Fibonacci sequence on his own.
Bohm: The what?
Teller: Here. (handing Bohm new book) A mathematical sequence discovered by a 12th-century mathematician named Fibonacci. The pattern’s found in nature, over and over again. The curve of a wave, the spiral of a shell, the segments of a pineapple.
Uh-huh. I might also start looking into these Fibonacci numbers more extensively myself as my curiosity about
Touch grows, but I can only wonder about Clea Hopkins’ main role in following the Bohms’ mathematically magical adventure worldwide. I’ll have to imagine that at least some of her colleagues will be no less surprised, if not even more so, at the insights that Martin and Jake end up uncovering from the people connected by these numbers, about their individual dreams, pursuits, and talents.
