5.9.1 Fibonacci's Rabbits
Leonardo Fibonacci (1175-1250) was the greatest European mathematician of the Middle Ages. His full name was Leonardo of Pisa, or Leonardo Pisano in Italian since he was born in Pisa, the city with the famous Leaning Tower [2828]. In his first book [2829], originally published in 1202, Fibonacci introduces the following problem:
A pair of rabbits are put in a field and, if rabbits take a month to become mature and then produce a new pair every month after that, how many pairs will there be in twelve months time?
In his solution to this puzzle, Fibonacci assumes that no rabbits ever escape and none die, and no extra rabbits are introduced into the field except those born from this original pair. He puts a newborn pair of rabbits, one male, one female, in a field and allows the rabbits to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. He further assumes that the female always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. The course of rabbit reproduction, illustrated in Figure 5.9, proceeds as follows [2828]:
Start of Month 1: The rabbits are placed in the field but have not mated; there is only 1 pair.
End of Month 1: The rabbits mate; there is only 1 pair in the field.
End of Month 2: The female produces one new pair; there are now 2 pairs in the field.
End of Month 3: The original female produces a second pair; there are now 3 pairs in the field.
End of Month 4: The original female has produced yet another new pair, the female born two months ago produces her first pair also; there are now 5 pairs in the field.
End of Month 5: ...and so on, adding the latest two numbers to get the next one.

Baby rabbits are called kits. At least that is what they refer to them commonly as in the American Rabbit Breeders Association. They are the governing body for rabbit shows across the United States similar to the AKC in dogs.
