Applications of Fibonacci Numbers - by G E Bergum & Andreas N Philippou & Alwyn F Horadam (Hardcover)

About the Book

Proceedings of 'The Third International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications', Pisa, Italy, July 25-29, 1988

Book Synopsis

This book contains thirty-six papers from among the forty-five papers presented at the Third International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications which was held in Pisa, Italy from July 25 to July 29, 1988 in honor of Leonardo de Pisa. These papers have been selected after a careful review by well known referees in the field, and they range from elementary number theory to probability and statistics. The Fibonacci numbers are their unifying bond. It is anticipated that this book, like its two predecessors, will be useful to research workers and graduate students interested in the Fibonacci numbers and their applications.
