Actually.
I never learned the Fibonacci from school.
I learned it from Tool.
Which in its own way is a better teacher than any education system can ever be.
Adam Jones taught me how to play power chords awesomely metallic style!
What other kind of education could I need?

Too funny, I had no idea the Fibonacci sequence had any rock-n-roll cred--I thought it would just be a more polite way to grow exponentially.

Among its many uses, calculating Fibonacci numbers is a favorite technique of unimaginative comp sci professors for teaching freshmen about recursion; that's where I learned it, around a hundred years ago.
