Kruti, about rabbits and Fibonacci.
One of the many mathematical problems that Fibonacci investigated (and the one he is most well known for) was 'the speed with which rabbit populations would increase under ideal circumstances.
Starting with one pair of rabbits, and assuming that each month they produce another pair of rabbits, which will also reproduce at a rate of one new pair per month, with none of the rabbits ever dying, Fibonacci asked the question 'how many pairs will there be in one year?'
