Who is/wasTrachette Jackson?

I chose a Female African American Mathematician named Trachette Jackson. She was the third African American woman who got the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, which is a high honor in math. She was born on July 24th 1972, meaning she is about 39 years old. She was also a mathematics professor at the University of Michigan. Where she is from cannot be found but is either from Michigan or Arizona. She is currently still alive and keeps being  math professor although she is studying more science now. This blog was great since I had to research things I didn't know and learned about some one new.

Fibonacci in Nature

Wow, first thing I learned was this Fibonacci. To be honest I thought he was a painter and not a mathematician. I also didn't know there was a pattern to his number thingy. I also didn't know his numbers had anything to do with nature and the bunnies, cows, and  bees and their reproduction. The shells too, on how their spirals have anything to do with numbers. I  mean how could numbers have anything to do with shells or animals. It was interesting to find this out,. The only thing that didn't amaze me but was surprised to know was that the number pattern has something to do with the stock market. It was nice reading the article and the things about animals and shells, I did learn some nice things tonight.
