One can investigate their size, which leads to Binet's formula and continued fractions. One can investigate various identities algebraically or combinatorially; there are lots of nice bijective proofs here as well as the possibility of discussing generating functions. One can investigate modulo a prime, which leads to factorization in finite fields. Generalizations lead to regular languages, finite automata, the transfer matrix method, more generating functions... | |
