About The Fibonacci Quarterly

The Fibonacci Quarterly is normally published four times a year: in February, May, August, and November. The primary function of the journal is to serve as a focal point for widespread interest in the Fibonacci numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,...) and related numbers, especially with respect to new results, research proposals, challenging problems, and innovative proofs of old ideas.

Editorial Policy

The Fibonacci Quarterly seeks articles that are intelligible, yet stimulating, to its readers, most of whom are university teachers and students. These articles should be lively and well motivated, with new ideas that develop enthusiasm for number sequences or the exploration of number facts. Illustrations and tables should be wisely used to clarify the ideas of the manuscript. Unanswered questions are encouraged, and a complete list of references is absolutely necessary.

Problem Columns

The journal contains two problem columns, one for Elementary Problems and one for Advanced Problems. Problems from the elementary column are maintained in an electronic archive. Solutions can be found in the printed issues of the journal, approximately one year after the appearance of the problem, together with the names of the people who solved the problem correctly. The best solution to each problem from those submitted is published in the journal.

All correspondence related to the elementary problem column should be sent to

Submitting an Article

Articles should be submitted in the format of the current issue of The Fibonacci Quarterly. They should be typewritten or reproduced typewritten copies, that are clearly readable, double spaced with wide margins and on only one side of the paper. The full name and address of the author must appear at the beginning of the paper directly under the title. Illustrations should be carefully drawn in India ink on separate sheets of bond paper or vellum, approximately twice the size they are to appear in print. Since the Fibonacci Association has adopted standard definitions for the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, these definitions must be used and need not be a part of the paper. One to three complete AMS classification numbers must be given directly after the references or on the bottom of the last page. Papers without classification numbers will be returned.
