Fibonacci numbers

Fibonacci numbers are defined by the recurrence $F_1=1$

and $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$ for $n>2$

Their closed form is

$F_n = \frac{(1+\sqrt{5})^n-(1-\sqrt{5})^n}{2^n\sqrt{5}}\,.$

An interesting sum for any integer $\alpha\ge2$ is

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{F_k}{\alpha^k} = \frac{\alpha}{\alpha^2-\alpha-1}\,.$

The first Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946 more terms
