There was also well-known Italian artist (well, to art geeks) Mario Merz who may've had an obsessive use of Fibonacci in his work. This makes me think of other possibilities of picture books about people who've had great (and not so great) inventions named after them: Jacuzzi, Guillotine, Gatling, Heimlich, etc. <br /><br />Thanks, Greg!Daniel Teeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-40131609613572494982010-03-31T12:20:54.641-07:002010-03-31T12:20:54.641-07:00Thanks for the comments, y'all.

I wonder if I would have been better at math if I'd actually been interested and informed about the bright lights who made it possible. Like Collen, I never heard of Fibonacci in school at all.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-52851500650111941512010-03-30T00:22:30.285-07:002010-03-30T00:22:30.285-07:00I thought this was a great book too - and my son r...I thought this was a great book too - and my son really enjoyed it as well. I can't remember learning about Fibonacci when I was a kid and was really happy to find a title that explained the man and his discovery in a way that an 8 year old could understand.<br /><br />I reviewed it for Eclectica Magazine - should be up soon in the Spring issue.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380722344521975869noreply@blogger.com
