"In mathematics, the limit of Fibonacci series is called as Golden Ratio."

Uh, no it isn't. They're related, but not synonymous.

Third grade writing ability and love of the mysterious? I bet this guy loved the Davinci Code.

Ha, from another of his posts:

"Every creature, as the art of the God, keep secrets and miracles inside it."

Clearly belongs on a science site.

Knuth's TAOCP, Vol I (page 79 on the 3rd edition) has a very nice introduction to Fibonacci numbers.

The article doesn't mention the classical problem proposed by Fibonacci: "How many rabbits can be produced from a single pair in a year's time?"

(each pair produces a new pair of offspring every month, each new pair becomes fertile at the age of one month).
