My four-part series on Numberphile videos about Fibonacci Numbers (from 2014) starts here.
   • Brady Numbers - Numberphile  

Here is me going on about the square root of five (Numberphile 2018).
   • Lucas Numbers and Root 5 - Numberphile  

This was the Fibonacci puzzle video from Matt Parker's Maths Puzzles.
   • MPMP: The 1 Million Bank Balance puzzle  

Read a whole bunch about "Generalized Fibonacci Sequences and Binet-Fibonacci Curves".

The zero I found was at -9.14202391817 + 2.80064954276i and you can see the exact form here: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...

Try it for yourself and put the Binet Formula (((1+sqrt(5))/2)^n - ((1-sqrt(5))/2)^n)/sqrt(5) in the Wolfram roots calculator: https://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/...

This site has everything you'll ever need to know about Fibonacci Numbers.

CORRECTIONS
This was a long video and in hindsight there are a few things I wish I had phrased better. Here they all are:
- I misspoke around 01:13 when I said "negative one, zero" as it is clearly "negative one, one, zero".
- At 07:53 I mean the negative values -5 to 0. I said it a weird way.
- My language at about the 1D input to 2D plot from 09:17 is a bit sloppy. The real values going into the Binet function are not the horizontal axis shown; the plot onscreen is solely the output.
- I say "axis" when I mean "plane" or even "complex plane". The big flat thing.
Let me know if you spot anything else!
