1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... Each number from the Fibonacci series is the sum of the previous 2. This numbers are closely related to the golden ratio (phi)... the bigger numbers, when dividing F(n+1)/F(n) you get phi. This numbers are used in natural science. The florets of flowers are spirals that contain, usually in one sense F(n) and in the other sense F(n+1). The one who discovered them, Leonardo of Pisa was a templar, so the connection of this series with mysticism is made very often, like in the bestseller The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

For some reason objects with the proportions of adjacent numbers in the series are pleasing to the human eye.

What's special about it is it's abundance in nature. It shows up in how plant leaves are distributed, and various other natural phenomena.

If you click on the link to "Applications" you will see mathematical purposes and just below it are occurences in nature.

Hey! It was cool for it's time! It had just never been done before, and it was instrumental in further understanding of mathematics.
