Lucas Numbers

Hi there. Here is a short math post by me.

From a finance video, I was hearing about Lucas Numbers. As it was new and unfamiliar to me, I had to find out quickly on what it was. It turns out that is not that difficult and it is similar to the Fibonacci sequence.

Lucas Number Sequence

You start the number sequence with 2 and 1 in that order. To get the next number, add the previous two numbers. The third number would be 3.

2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, ...

This number sequence is named after the French mathematician François Édouard Anatole Lucas.

The Lucas Numbers is similar to the Fibonacci recursive relationship. Fibonacci numbers operate in the same way but start with 0 and 1. The third number would be zero plus one which is one. The fourth number is 2 from 1 + 1.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ...
