Jan 8, 2016 · It doesn't matter. You simply have to choose a possible definition and use it consistently. Sequences don't even have to start at $0$ or $1$, they can start with any number and even be indexed by all integers $\mathbb{Z}$. There is also the more general notion of an indexed family.

Jan 23, 2013 · The question of "index" only applies to us and not Fibonacci. So if we want to go with his starting number and we're using 0-based indexes we'd put his starting number at index 0, or if we're using 1-based indexes we'd put his starting number at index 1.
Jun 15, 2012 · One key number-theoretical reason for starting the sequence $(0,1)$ instead of $(1,1)$ is that it makes the divisibility property of the Fibonacci sequence more straightforward to state; i.e., that $F_k$ divides $F_{nk}$ for any $k,n$. If you start with $F_0=1$ instead of $F_0=0$ then this breaks down (for instance, in that numbering $F_2=2 ...
In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn. Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1 [ 1 ][ 2 ] and some (as did Fibonacci) from ...
To make sure you have the correct exponent on your (-1) factor, evaluate the first term of the sequence and make sure it has the correct sign. If you're asked to find the formula for the general term of a sequence and not given the starting value of n , you should choose n = 0 or n = 1.
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it: the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2), the 5 is (2+3), and so on!
