Line 39:

::"Sequence" implies an order among the numbers ... a first Fibonacci number, then a second, then a third, .... However, "numbers" need not be so organized. For example, among the transcendental numbers, there is none that people agree is the first, then the second, etc. —[[User:Quantling|<span class="texhtml"><i>Q</i></span>uantling]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Quantling|talk]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Quantling|contribs]]) 12:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

:::Thanks; I guess that kind of helps. I only thought that because when I hovered over Fibonacci numbers and then over Fibonacci sequences, it gave the same definition. [[Special:Contributions/80.42.238.212|80.42.238.212]] ([[User talk:80.42.238.212|talk]]) 08:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

::The distinction between "Fibonacci numbers" and "Fibonacci sequence" is pedantry. No one who says "Fibonacci numbers" means a random set of numbers; they always mean the standard increasing sequence of numbers, unless they are talking about individual members of the sequence. Changing the article title seems silly to me; after all, look up "[[Lucas numbers]]" for comparison. [[User:Zaslav|Zaslav]] ([[User talk:Zaslav|talk]]) 05:01, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
