In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci series/sequence are the numbers in the following sequence:

By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, Therefore when you add 0 to 1 it equals 1. So the sequence carries on 0,1,1 and you keep on adding the two numbers that you got and the previous one. So that you get 1+1=2 and you get 0,1,1,2. Each subsequence number is the sum of the previous two. 
This is the equation:

This really helped Greek engineers work out how to build temples and how many columns you need to support the ceiling.
