The \key{Fibonacci numbers} arise in many situations.
The \key{Fibonacci numbers}\footnote{Fibonacci (c. 1175--1250) was an Italian mathematician.} arise in many situations.
They can be defined recursively as follows:

The first Fibonacci numbers are
\[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, \ldots\]
There is also a closed-form formula
for calculating Fibonacci numbers:

\[f(n)=\frac{(1 + \sqrt{5})^n - (1-\sqrt{5})^n}{2^n \sqrt{5}}.\]
