Antwoord

"In 1202, the Italian mathematician Fibonacci asked a simple question. Suppose we have a pair of newly born rabbits who, after maturing, beget another pair of rabbits. These children, after they mature, beget another
pair. So we have first one pair of rabbits, then two pair, and then three pair. How will this continue, if it does, supposing that each new pair of rabbits, after one season of maturing, will beget another pair each and every breeding season thereafter ? To make things simple, Fibonacci also assumed that rabbits never die."
