I don't really know what fibonacci is
It's series of numbers that can easily be described in computer code. For this reason, you see a lot of examples of it. It's probably the most popular to reach for when giving a recursion example.
However, the series is interesting in it's own right, if you're a mathematician( or artist, or biologist). The series describes the "Golden Ratio", which has a number of application, including the spacing of flower petals and Renaissance art.
Curiously, I did apply it once. I was in a Sybase class and their logo at the time was the "Golden Spiral", that is described by the number series. So I made one with the QuickBasic that was on the terminal I was using.
