In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers, named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci.
After two starting values, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The first Fibonacci numbers (sequence A000045 in OEIS) for n = 0, 1, … are
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946,17711,

A Fibonacci series is a series of numbers that grows from two 'seed' numbers, using the simple rule that the next member of the series is the sum of the previous two members. It has been used to describe such diverse phenomena as the stock market, plant growth, and musical themes. Here is an example:
2, 4, 6, 10, 16, 26 and so on...
In this case, 2 and 4 are the seed; they add up to 6 (the next number). 4 and 6 add to 10, and so on...
The simplest series starts with 1 and 1, so it runs:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 and so on...

Yes, many people know how to construct a fibonacci series but do you know what the numbers mean in a design sense?
Look at some of the number pairs like 3, 5 or 5, 8. These are dimensions that for some reason are aesthetically pleasing for humans to view. 3 x 5 cards; 5 x 8 or 8 x 13 picture frames. Even car designers use some fibonacci pair for overall dimension.

For a fibonacci series you start out with any two number and then build successive terms in the series by adding the previous two terms. For example, if you started a series out with 4 and 7, the next term would be 11 because 4+7=11; the next term would be 18, because 7+11=18; the next term would be 29 because 18+11 is 29....

Start with 1, 1, 3, 5. Then keep adding the next number to the total of the previous ones.
1, 1, 3, 5 is the beginning. So 1+1+3 = 5. Then 1+1+3+5 = the next number, and so on.

The Answerer-er is almost right only he missed 2
Fibonacci Series:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,......
Rule is simple, add previous two numbers and get the next.
So, after 21 the next number is 13+21 = 34

it is defined as F(1) =0; f(2) = 1;
f(n+2) = f(n)+f(n+1); n >0
this gives
f(3) = 0+1 = 1
f(4) = 1+ 1 =2
simlilarly
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21

0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55.......................and so on
each number in the fibonacci series is the sum of its two previous numbers and when any adjacent numbers are divided you get the golden number 0.618. very interesting look it up you'll be intrigued
