Leonardo de Pisa
Leonardo de Pisa, better known as Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician born around 1170 in Pisa, Italy. He is best known for introducing the Fibonacci sequence to the Western world through his book 'Liber Abaci' in 1202. This sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, has profound implications in mathematics, nature, and art. Fibonacci's work also helped popularize the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Europe, which replaced the Roman numeral system and revolutionized arithmetic. His contributions to mathematics laid the groundwork for many concepts that are fundamental to number theory and combinatorics today.
