Leonardo of Pisa, more commonly known as the guy who is more commonly known as Fibonacci, revolutionised popular acceptance of applied mathematics through his Liber Abbaci, which also helped bring the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to the West. Precisely because he was so successful, the full extent of his influence has been greatly underestimated, and his revolution was largely forgotten for hundreds of years.

As the first chapter started with 0, I thought it will be numbered as a Fibonacci series, but it was not so. Most of us know Fibonacci (pronounced as fi buh naa chee) only for the Fibonacci Series.
