1. This morning Mantovano reached the 400-subscriber mark. 2. This morning I rec'd the following from a producer at BBC Radio Scotland:
"I am producing a half hour science documentary on the mathematician Fibonacci and the Fibonacci number sequence for BBC Radio Scotland. One of my colleagues has heard that the Fibonacci sequence occurs in the poems of Vergil - which were obviously written long before the time of Fibonacci. I wondered if you knew anything about this or could steer me to some-one who might?" Anyone know anything about this? Duckworth found the Golden Section everywhere in Virgil's poetry, but I don't recall anything about the Fibonacci sequence.
