It was there that Fibonacci got to know the Indo-Arabic numeral system from an Islamic teacher and became enthusiastic about it. Extensive journeys to the Orient gave Fibonacci the opportunity to expand and deepen his mathematical knowledge.
Around he returned to Pisa where he lived as a private scholar and mathematical writer. In his most important work was completed, "Liber abaci", an encyclopaedic arithmetic book, which disclosed arithmetic methods to the Western world on the basis of the Indo-Arabic place-value system. Leonardo of Pisa is now known almost exclusively under his byname Fibonacci, which immediately awakens association with the Fibonacci sequence named after him.
It has been said that the Fibonacci Numbers are nature's numbering system and that they apply to the growth of living things, including cells, petals on a flower, wheat, honeycomb, pine cones, and much more.

Sylvester connected a proposed greedy algorithm to rational number conversions within n -steps. Leonardo had written a two-step process based in a non-algorithmic method.
A 2-step conversion method, using multiples 26 and 6, was used by an EMLR student scribe to convert 1 8. Ahmes also used a related two-step method to convert 28 97 , solving 2 97 , and 26 97 , by combining the unit fraction series.
Leonardo also wrote books on geometry and Diophantine equations , discussing these and other topics in the remaining pages of Liber Abaci. Due to He made his mathematical discoveries along the Meditterainean coast by learning from the locals.
With inspiration from the Hindi-Arabic numerical system, Fibonnacci created the decimal system that we still use today. One of his most famous of discoveries is known as the Fibonnacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, , and so on. He discovered this sequence through the analysis of a rabbit population.

Philadelphia: Chelsea House Publishers While in the city Leonardo continued his education from a Moorish Schoolmaster King 33 and he learned Arabic, as it was the main language of Bugia Aczel After completing his education, Leonardo went on a voyage around the Mediterranean that lasted a few years, making stops at Syria, Greece, Egypt, Sicily, and Constantinople King While on this journey, he studied with Arab mathematicians Aczel 66 and became familiar with Hindu-Arabic numerals Aczel After his voyage, Leonardo returned to Pisa, Italy in Aczel 67 and began compiling all that he had learned.
In , Bonacci got a permanent job as the director of the Pisan trading colony in Bugia, Algeria. Sometime after , Bonacci brought Fibonacci with him to Bugia. Bonnaci expected Fibbonacci to become a merchant and so arranged for him in instruction of calculational techniques.
One of the major themes in this involved the Hindu-Arabic numerals which had not yet been introduced into Europe. Eventually, Bonacci enlisted his son's help in carrying out business for the Pisan republic and sent him on trips to Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily, and Provence. He was known as the greatest mathematician of the middle ages.
