The Fibonacci numbers are defined recursively by the following difference equation:
\begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} F_{n} & = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} \\ F_1 & = 1 \\ F_0 & = 0 \\ \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation}It is easy to compute the first few elements in the sequence:
$0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 \cdots $
