+gerry chan This isn't some magic method to avoid memorization and grinding. In his video, he discussed the last of the three points he showed at the beginning. You need memorization and grinding for the first two.
Sorry, I have to explain what I mean of memorisation. It's more interesting and fun to learn why or how a formula came into being. Not just the algebra manipulation,but the story behind the equation. I hope you get my point.
There's one small problem to that: sometimes the explanation is A LOT harder to understand than simply learning (or memorizing) things. Take the formulas to calculate the area and volume of a sphere for example: it takes knowledge of differentiation and integration to understand how to get to those formulas. I'm not saying some things can't be explained. I'm just pointing out that there's another side of the story.
I had a great math teacher in high school. Mr. Vigurs, he didnt just teach us math, he taught us to look how math is in everything around us and to question and reason with everything. Not to just simply go through life being a robot.
This makes sense to me! I remember back in high school I'm always wondering the "why's" for the formula. I mean, math teachers force us to memorize the formula but doesn't explain to us why it was formed, what significance does it has, on what real life scenario we can apply it to.
I am not the biggest fan of math, mostly because my brain just cant comprehend it, but i couldn't stop smiling throughout this video. I knew maths could be beautiful, but it's so rare i can comprehend its beauty.
In the introduction to his book, Fibonacci (c. 13th century CE) makes the following revelations 1) "I am the son of an official working in Bugia, Algeria". 2) There was a colony of Indian Merchants in that city. 3) "It was there that I was introduced to Indian Mathematics". Fibonacci further says- " I loved Indian Mathematics to such an extent above all others that I completely devoted myself to it" "I was also introduced to Greek, Arabic & Egyptian Math" "But I found ALL of them, EVEN Pythagoras, to be erroneous compared to Indian Mathematics" Fibonacci further says: "For this reason, basing my book COMPLETELY on Indian methods and applying myself with greatest attention to it, but not without adding something of my own thought, I forced myself to compose this book. I demonstrated everything with proof" Finally, Fibonacci says: " In my book, I have published the doctrine of Mathematics completely according to the Method of Indians. I have COMPLETELY adopted the (Mathematical) Method of Indians because it is the MOST effective" Thus, in his book, Fibonacci does NOT refer to #Fibonacci Series as "Fibonacci Series" Rather, he simply calls it "Indian Series". Unlike many other Europeans, Fibonacci was NOT a plagiarist. He clearly mentioned his source and acknowledged his credit to ancient Indians. Fibonacci's introduction makes it clear that he considered himself "Indian Mathematician" insomuch as he adhered to Indian Mathematical Methodology and contributed to it. The real name of the so called "Fibonacci Series" is "Indian Series". This comes from the horse's mouth ! So far as the so called "Fibonacci Series" is concerned, Fibonacci was only TRANSLATING the Sutras of Pingala (c.3rd century CE) and his commentator Virahanka who derived "Fibonacci Series" several hundreds of years before Fibonacci was even born . I was very shocked reading Fibonacci's introduction. Why are these facts kept concealed? A more important question. Why should it be called 'Fibonacci series' when Fibonacci himself does not claim to have discovered it and simply acknowledges Indian Mathematics as his source? The precepts of Pythagoras and Euclid were forgotten in early middle ages and revived only later. Yet, the credit always goes to Pythagoras and Euclid. Never to the later day Mathematicians who revived their works. Why is Pingala never extended the same courtesy? I wonder why! Fibonacci was NOT a European Mathematician, except by flesh and blood. He explicitly rejected the European methodology of Mathematics. He denounced even the path of Pythagoras as "erroneous". He followed footsteps of exemplary Vaidika Mathematicians like Pingala and Virahanka Fibonacci does not describe his book as "European Mathematics". He explicitly describes his book as " treatise on Indian Mathematical methods". As such, it is hard to even consider him a "European Mathematician". He followed the footsteps of Vaidika Sanskritic Mathematicians Reference and the source i have used : English translation of introduction to Fibonacci's book "Liber Abaci".

Our great Indian ancient mathematitians and scientists have always been underestimated and neglected . I barely understand the reason behind that .Its not only in the case of science and math but also philosophy and others. The European scientists and other westerners evolved long after the Indians and somehow got the ideas and knowledge from the Indians and later the sources were just thrown away . The Indians could have been in the lime light if our Medieval history was a better one , probably.
For us in Europe the numbers as Fibonacci made them known to us are called "Arabic numbers" and although they are based on Indian numbers, they are written in a significantly different way. Also for us in Europe we call it Fibonacci sequence, I'm sorry to see that it makes you so angry, but I think it's not so important ...
I dont think so like in doing some astronomical calculations in mathematics a lot of inverse calculations are involved but in physics derivations are used regularly so clearly u know which method of studies we use for that stuff so its simple it's not the universal language but yeah mathematics is the way to the universal languages Becoz we got the numbers and processes from mathematics so yeah it's partially correct
It's not the fact that teachers can't make math exciting. It's just that math teachers aren't trained to think like mathematicians. Even with a math degree, I can honestly say that I did not realize why adding the squares of Fibonacci numbers resulted in 8x13. It is a beautiful connection but it is a very obscure one that only classically trained mathematicians can see. You can't expect a regular math teacher to generate this kind of material for students because it takes years of mathematical dedication to get to that level.
Fibonacci was also humble to acknowledge that most important concepts in his Liber Abaci were those which were followed by Indians since ages before him. He thus called it 'Modus Indorum'. Also, the concept of Fibonacci numbers itself is an application of Meru Prastara(now know by many as Pascal's triangle), which was given by Pingalacharya of India (dated before 200BC). So, it is essentially an Indian knowledge which was introduced to Europe by Fibonacci. Love for math, India and Fibonacci..
Yet the west and those Indians who are stuck in white colonial mindset ignore this and pretend that Fibonacci had no connection to knowledge of Indian mathematics

The Fibonacci numbers were first described in *Indian mathematics* as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on enumerating possible patterns of Sanskrit poetry formed from syllables of two lengths.They are named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci.
at 3:20 he missed a pattern that arises too: 6+15 = 21; 15+40 = 55; 40+104 = 144; all these are fibonacci numbers separated by 2 distances on the series: 21,34,55,89,144...

Is there any other trader watching this video in 2021 and thinking once more "its just amazing how I use Fibo in my charts and so often the price movements reach its Fibo level"? Great video, great professor!
yo thanks Arthur, never heard of fibonacci growing up and this is fascinating. i failed calculus twice and barely passed my statistics. anything with numbers i get frustrated and then I get angry. Broke my knuckles few times when studying for statistics.. but this video man..ima take notes and show this to my 8 year old cousin and make sure he doesn't end up like me. thanks a million you saved a child.
lol just because ur bad and get mad, doesn’t mean a million children will end up like you. There are more than a million people who know and understand the beauty of the Fibonacci way before this video was uploaded
Trading as a beginner can be rather confusing and complex and if not properly guided by an expert, it can result to disastrous losses but with Mr Arlen Haywood and his effective strategies, you are assured of your profits always.
Everyone wants to make profits off the forex market but not everyone is patient enough to learn how it works and that's why it always cost them a whole lot but with Mr Arlen's top notch strategies, your profits will stay consistent.
The problem with most people is that they confuse the forex market with a gambling platform and thinks it's all about staking money and making profits without learning how it works and that's why it always cost them a whole lot but with Mr Arlen's effective trading strategies, you wont just become a profitable trader but a disciplined one at that too.
started up trading with Mr Arlen Haywood with a capital of $1000 and i made profits of $5400 and overtime, my profits have become consistent and now i can invest higher and make bigger profits.
i got goosebumps... and i got this sincere smile i sometimes get while watching my favorite cartoons or tv shows... over a video about fibonacci numbers. thanks ted
Thank You! Whenever I told a teacher I didn't understand, they would show me exactly what they did before but I didn't understand it, not because what the teacher was showing was not understandable but because I could never wrap my head as to how this got to this. lol
I'm in love with the way he explained it and his way brought so much of fruit into my brain...though I was very bad at mathematics I hated it so much but slowly it's seeming to be like game now
Fibonacci numbers and their sequence first appeared in Indian mathematics as Matrameru, centuries before the Italian mathematician Fibonacci was even born.
I really love Arthur's presentations. I am a trader in the currency and indices markets, Fibonacci is one of my main tools for the future projection of price and support and resistance of these markets and are extremely accurate. Amazing subject and one which should be taught more in the schools.
I have been researching Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio my entire life and I've never thought of it like this. I always apply φ to concepts like decagons, pentagrams, golden gnomes, golden triangles, golden angles etc. but I never realized the relationship between the squares of the Fibonacci sequences. I guess that could be an approximation of φ^2=1+ φ. Now I am inspired to take another step into my golden ratio journey and re-discover the art of geometric applications of φ. From now on I will find y, not x.
This 6 minute video of Fibonacci no is better than my last 12 yrs of school age learning about maths. I wish this guy would be my maths teacher,than I will never get bored
Fibonacci number is found in a textbook written by an ancient Indian saint Pingala(200 BC). and it's discovery is said to be much more older than that text and is known as Maatra Meru in Sanskrit. while Leonardo of Pisa(Fibonacci) came out with his book" Liber Abachi" in the year 1202.

I liked the talk, but because of the rather short duration of the video, I got the idea that the speaker was just getting started, just gathering steam, right before leaving the stage. I guess what I'm saying is: as a fan of the golden ratio, I would have thoroughly enjoyed a bit more 'digging'.
The sequence was initially observed in nature by Pingala, an Indian mathematician, who named it "Maatrameru." He was noted for setting the number of syllables in a metered poem (and others) using binary numerals. Around 200 BC, he also discovered and used the "Meru Prastarah" extensively, which is known today as "Pascal's Triangle."
Yes. Fibonacci's Liber Abaci was written in 1202 AD and Acharya Pingala, the Poet and Mathematician from ancient India written about it in 450 BC. Even Fibbonaci in his book mentioned that the number '0' was invented by Aryabhatta, another Mathematician from Ancient India.
I have enjoyed memorizing Fibonacci numbers. It helps you discover the many surprising consistencies within the sequence. My favorite is the fact that the sum of any two consecutive, squared Fibonacci numbers equals the number whose sequence number is the sum of the original two sequence numbers. This works for odd numbers only. To find even sequence numbers' figures, we have to skip a sequence number and subtract the squares, but the answer is still the number whose sequence number is the sum of the original two sequence numbers. I could only figure that out after learning a good chunk of the sequence. So we know (expect?), for example, that: 27,777,890,035,288^2 + 44,945,570,212,853^2 = 2,791,715,456,571,051,233,611,642,553. (66th FN^2 + 67th FN^2 = 133rd FN) or that: 27,777,890,035,288^2 - 10,610,209,857,723^2 = 659,034,621,586,630,041,982,498,215. (66th FN^2 - 64th FN^2 = 130th FN) Does anyone know of a proof for the above phenomena? I wrote these numbers from memory, I hope they are correct. The 133rd is as far as I have memorized. I am not a mathematician, unless you count seventh-grade-level math!
Amazing, thank you. I wish my math teacher was like him, but mine was some selfish dude, and that's why I started to hate Math, but I always applaud to those folks who love math.
Interesting, this helped me get a better understanding of everything I was learning back in school but it did it within a blink of an eye really was some interesting piece of information that I can now use to crush Forex.
This is not a fibonaci number it is a matrameru ,this is a hindu maths technic, if you want learn ,use a pingla sutras -author pingla maharishi ,you find all answers
joey cruz these types of teachers even when you don't get it you just make an effort to stay on track with the subject...hahaha some days inside the class i wonder if the guy teaching me didn't buy a Phd on black market
Most teachers also have to teach subjects harder to comprehend then the Fibonacci Sequence. Ex:It's a bit harder to use the formula of an ellipse in a real life situation where most people can understand it. It's part of a conic section, have fun with that unless you are an engineer building a bridge or something.
Application. To go between miles and km., use Fibonacci numbers. The ratio of 1.618 is very close to 1609 meters, the length of a mile in the metric system. To go from miles to km. go up one number and vice versa. Brilliant teacher BTW.
1:44 In nature surprisingly often 5:45 Not have attention in school, but forget the application Mathematics is not just solving for X, It's also figuring out WHY.
In school I feel like the teachers push us through units by giving us equations to memorize! That definitely takes application away. Teach me how to think please.
Think about it in this way, the best distance to bounce the ball to pass to the other guy is 1.618 from the total distance. Another words its a little past halfway.
Dear It is ok not to be able to think...it is ok to memorize stuff and move on in life...Dont let this neo- educational stuff bother your existing patterns..but it is very good to learn new things..

Penny Lane Don't mistake nature with conspiracy theories. There are a lot of recurring patterns in nature that are not just coincidences.
Fibs are used everyday in trading, and it's amazing how often price turns at the golden ratio (.618)
"Mathematics is not just solving for x, its also figuring out y" Loved this quote
Brilliant talk!!!
And Arthur is so true. Knowing math it is so easy to forget how to get across that "why?" to our listeners (if we have any left).
I'm basically the only member in my family that loves to solve puzzles and appreciates mathematics. This video blew me away :D
me too lol
Very impressive. Homeschooling a 5th grader and came across this video and we were BOTH inspired! Thank you
Just imagine if only ever math professor was as enthusiastic as this guy. Maybe 90% of people wouldn't hate math, how cool would that be...
It's fun to learn from someone who seems to be having fun. Thank you!
Is there any other trader watching this video in 2021 and thinking once more "its just amazing how I use Fibo in my charts and so often the price movements reach its Fibo level"? Great video, great professor!
why math? because its THE universal language
“Meh”

Video Vlog Jones its a track by Boards of Canada, have a look.
He's one of the apt teacher to teach Mathematics, seeing his joyous nature. Respect sir.
This man has an infectious passion for math and it's always a good thing when the golden ratio is brought to our attention
yo thanks Arthur, never heard of fibonacci growing up and this is fascinating. i failed calculus twice and barely passed my statistics. anything with numbers i get frustrated and then I get angry. Broke my knuckles few times when studying for statistics..
but this video man..ima take notes and show this to my 8 year old cousin and make sure he doesn't end up like me. thanks a million you saved a child.
u mad bro
Lol now chill out a bit
Forget about all the bs above. Do whatever you feel like doing don't let these people get you
lol just because ur bad and get mad, doesn’t mean a million children will end up like you. There are more than a million people who know and understand the beauty of the Fibonacci way before this video was uploaded
Love to you bro.

Fibonacci
1st time in history that I understood math! Omg! And it was so easy and fun. I like it! Never is to late to learn.
I imagined that forex could be so tasking, i kept coming back to these youtube videos for more information.
This clip was so helpful.
Trading as a beginner can be rather confusing and complex and if not properly guided by an expert, it can result to disastrous losses but with Mr Arlen Haywood and his effective strategies, you are assured of your profits always.
I made profits of $12000 after starting up with a capital of $2500 trading with Mr Arlen Haywood, he's the real deal.
Everyone wants to make profits off the forex market but not everyone is patient enough to learn how it works and that's why it always cost them a whole lot but with Mr Arlen's top notch strategies, your profits will stay consistent.
The problem with most people is that they confuse the forex market with a gambling platform and thinks it's all about staking money and making profits without learning how it works and that's why it always cost them a whole lot but with Mr Arlen's effective trading strategies, you wont just become a profitable trader but a disciplined one at that too.
started up trading with Mr Arlen Haywood with a capital of $1000 and i made profits of $5400 and overtime, my profits have become consistent and now i can invest higher and make bigger profits.
Inspiration is what you need if you want to teach effectively, as demonstrated right here. Bravo!
i got goosebumps... and i got this sincere smile i sometimes get while watching my favorite cartoons or tv shows... over a video about fibonacci numbers. thanks ted
This was such a fun Ted talk, I love how he made it easy to follow along. Fibonacci Sequence is one of the few Math I actually enjoy.
I wish I had this professor in my early schooling ❤
I have always loved maths, and this is an awesome example of why.
Thank You!
Whenever I told a teacher I didn't understand, they would show me exactly what they did before
but I didn't understand it, not because what the teacher was showing was not understandable
but because I could never wrap my head as to how this got to this.
lol
I'm in love with the way he explained it and his way brought so much of fruit into my brain...though I was very bad at mathematics I hated it so much but slowly it's seeming to be like game now
Fibonacci numbers and their sequence first appeared in Indian mathematics as Matrameru, centuries before the Italian mathematician Fibonacci was even born.
I really love Arthur's presentations. I am a trader in the currency and indices markets, Fibonacci is one of my main tools for the future projection of price and support and resistance of these markets and are extremely accurate. Amazing subject and one which should be taught more in the schools.
Same here. I was looking for a video to explain the nature of fractals and Fibonacci numbers and this talk explains it perfectly.
Mentioned in Indian mathematics dating before 200 BC by Pingala and Gopala.
Takes me back a long, long way. Love it.
I have been researching Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio my entire life and I've never thought of it like this. I always apply φ to concepts like decagons, pentagrams, golden gnomes, golden triangles, golden angles etc. but I never realized the relationship between the squares of the Fibonacci sequences. I guess that could be an approximation of φ^2=1+ φ. Now I am inspired to take another step into my golden ratio journey and re-discover the art of geometric applications of φ. From now on I will find y, not x.
This should happen in our schools... someday someone will learn this hopefully :)
This 6 minute video of Fibonacci no is better than my last 12 yrs of school age learning about maths. I wish this guy would be my maths teacher,than I will never get bored
“Why do we learn mathematics?”
So I can spin a steel ball
Is that a Jojo reference.
Nyo ho~
3:32 He was expecting the crowd to say Fibonacci, but they didn't so he said it himself lol
How many of us would be Math Wizards with teachers like this! Bravo! Awesome!
Fibonacci number is found in a textbook written by an ancient Indian saint Pingala(200 BC). and it's discovery is said to be much more older than that text
and is known as Maatra Meru in Sanskrit. while Leonardo of Pisa(Fibonacci) came out with his book" Liber Abachi" in the year 1202.
The 2 thousand dislikes are from maths failures .....
Art is a wonderful colleague to have. He spreads the joy of mathematics in a fun and compelling way.
The Fibonacci Sequence is nature’s pattern and the trademark of a creator.
Yes. It is strange how people don’t see that. They are compiling evidence without coming to a conclusion

And this proves jojo fans are everywhere
this guy is so enthusiastic about maths and it is adorable
Arigato Gyro
That end was Sad😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The golden rotation!!
Virahanka and Hemachandra also deserve appreciation, they used this sequence many years before Fibonacci
I liked the talk, but because of the rather short duration of the video, I got the idea that the speaker was just getting started, just gathering steam, right before leaving the stage. I guess what I'm saying is: as a fan of the golden ratio, I would have thoroughly enjoyed a bit more 'digging'.
PS: What's with the bite-size TedTalks anyway? Isn't that what those animated TedEd videos are for?
The sequence was initially observed in nature by Pingala, an Indian mathematician, who named it "Maatrameru." He was noted for setting the number of syllables in a metered poem (and others) using binary numerals. Around 200 BC, he also discovered and used the "Meru Prastarah" extensively, which is known today as "Pascal's Triangle."
The sequence has been part of my passwords since high school.
The golden rotation and a green ball-shaped object in the middle of that thumbnail...coincidence? I think not
Could it be made of... steel?
@@savioqueiroz1828 Good day to you, sir. Please tell me if you've found any others on your endeavors
I'm glad to see a man of culture in this comment section
Ah I see you are a stand user of culture as well
just passing by to look for reference to create my infinite spin
The original name of Fibonacci number is "matra meeru".... The original credit goes to pingala ancient hindu mathematician
Yes. Fibonacci's Liber Abaci was written in 1202 AD and Acharya Pingala, the Poet and Mathematician from ancient India written about it in 450 BC. Even Fibbonaci in his book mentioned that the number '0' was invented by Aryabhatta, another Mathematician from Ancient India.
Credit goes to pingala
I have enjoyed memorizing Fibonacci numbers. It helps you discover the many surprising consistencies within the sequence.
My favorite is the fact that the sum of any two consecutive, squared Fibonacci numbers equals the number whose sequence number is the sum of the original two sequence numbers. This works for odd numbers only. To find even sequence numbers' figures, we have to skip a sequence number and subtract the squares, but the answer is still the number whose sequence number is the sum of the original two sequence numbers. I could only figure that out after learning a good chunk of the sequence.
So we know (expect?), for example, that:
27,777,890,035,288^2 + 44,945,570,212,853^2 = 2,791,715,456,571,051,233,611,642,553. (66th FN^2 + 67th FN^2 = 133rd FN) or that:
27,777,890,035,288^2 - 10,610,209,857,723^2 = 659,034,621,586,630,041,982,498,215. (66th FN^2 - 64th FN^2 = 130th FN)
Does anyone know of a proof for the above phenomena? I wrote these numbers from memory, I hope they are correct. The 133rd is as far as I have memorized. I am not a mathematician, unless you count seventh-grade-level math!
Amazing, thank you. I wish my math teacher was like him, but mine was some selfish dude, and that's why I started to hate Math, but I always applaud to those folks who love math.
This number is invented by pingala hindu teacher which is 2200 year old
Perhaps it is not enough to discover something, but it is necessary to fix it in a coherent and rigorous way as mathematics requires
@@Voncrapoten haha stupid logic
I have watched this explanation many times, I feel everything was born with a math theory.
00:12 same thing I kept asking my teacher
😂
Thank you, now i can evolve tusk!
hmm we have two things in common lol
That last sentence fundamentally changed my view on mathematics
Interesting, this helped me get a better understanding of everything I was learning back in school but it did it within a blink of an eye really was some interesting piece of information that I can now use to crush Forex.
This is not a fibonaci number it is a matrameru ,this is a hindu maths technic, if you want learn ,use a pingla sutras -author pingla maharishi ,you find all answers
Where are all these teachers??? We always get junkeys who just memorized everything but can't give taste of it
goverment ran education drove them away.
joey cruz
these types of teachers even when you don't get it you just make an effort to stay on track with the subject...hahaha some days inside the class i wonder if the guy teaching me didn't buy a Phd on black market
Most teachers also have to teach subjects harder to comprehend then the Fibonacci Sequence. Ex:It's a bit harder to use the formula of an ellipse in a real life situation where most people can understand it. It's part of a conic section, have fun with that unless you are an engineer building a bridge or something.
Wow math is the most beautiful thing ever❤❤

Awesome! Mathematics is not just solving for X, it's also figuring out WHY!!! Loved it!!!
Application. To go between miles and km., use Fibonacci numbers. The ratio of 1.618 is very close to 1609 meters, the length of a mile in the metric system. To go from miles to km. go up one number and vice versa. Brilliant teacher BTW.
these sequence were already in indian mathematics before fibonacci.
yeah he did say western world though
He talks like Sheldon Cooper
Ur right
Teddy Mwalo I was thinking this too 😂😂😂
Who?
I'll give you one better...Sheldon Cooper talks like him
actually you should touch your ears before taking the name of great Dr. Sheldon cooper
and bye the way its Dr. Sheldon Cooper ha ha ha..........
Mathematics is not just solving for x, it's also figuring out Y ♥️♥️ Love the quotes thanks for this sir
*Remember lesson five Johnny*
Lol
Lesson 1
Fibonacci Numbers is actually invented by Indian Mathematician Pingala 1000 years before Fibonacci.
You are right dude

@@yellowbasket2334 why don't you do some research about it?
1:44 In nature surprisingly often

Teacher: Calculators Are Not Allowed
Me: Brings Arthur Benjamin
In school I feel like the teachers push us through units by giving us equations to memorize! That definitely takes application away. Teach me how to think please.
Think about it in this way, the best distance to bounce the ball to pass to the other guy is 1.618 from the total distance. Another words its a little past halfway.
Dear
It is ok not to be able to think...it is ok to memorize stuff and move on in life...Dont let this neo- educational stuff bother your existing patterns..but it is very good to learn new things..
Some advice: You will likely never learn to think if you spend your days with your nose in a smartphone.
