Abstract
Fibonacci’s Liber Abaci (The Book of Calculation) is the most important book of mathematics from the Middle Ages. The book was dedicated to Michael Scott, a Scottish scholar who was the Imperial Astrologer to the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. He was later described as a necromancer and was consigned to the eighth circle of Hell by Dante. Chapter 8 outlines the lives of Fibonacci and Michael Scott. Liber Abaci was key to the spread of Hindu–Arabic numerals through the Mediterranean and into Europe, and the book also includes a number of puzzles, the most famous of which is about breeding rabbits. The solution involves the number sequence now known as the Fibonacci sequence, which has many interesting properties that are still being studied.
