Fibonacci
The Fibonacci sequence has awed scientists, mathematicians, biologists and the like since it was first postulated in Indian mathematics by Pingala around 200BC and later studied by Leonardo of Pisa who was also known as Fibonacci ~1200AD.
The next number in the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers in the sequence. i.e. 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13...∞. 0 and 1 by definition are the first two numbers. Following, is a remarkable video showcasing the sequence as it appears a few times in nature. It is worth noting that this sequence appears everywhere you look - if you look for it. Enjoy.
