Mathematics is not my strongest subject but seeing it like this is so much more fun!
I can honestly say I had not heard of Fibonacci Numbers until I watched "The Da Vinci Code"! I daresay I am not unique.
Math is logical, functional and just ... awesome. Mathemagician Arthur Benjamin explores hidden properties of that weird and wonderful set of numbers, the Fibonacci series. (And reminds you that mathematics can be inspiring, too!)
