Mathematical language is a system used to express, communicate and convey mathematical information. It is distinct and unique from the usual language that people are used to and is used to communicate abstract and logical ideas. Mathematical language is characterized by abstraction symbols and rule.

Fibonacci Sequence is popularized in Europe by Leonardo of Pisa, famously known as Leonardo Fibonacci. The nth term of a Fibonacci sequence is found by adding up the two Fibonacci numbers before it. But how can we find the nth term of a Fibonacci sequence without it's two preceding terms?
