I want to find a derivation for formula of nth term of fibonacci formula. Searching the net - I found two methods : (i) First one assumes that the nth terms will be some number raised to power of n...I don't like this one as it assumes the formula initially
(ii) the second one involves matrices but i don't understand a large portion of the derivation
Is there any other way? If not could you tell me what all i have to learn about matrices before i can understand the derivation( it involves eigenvalues and all other stuff that i don't understand).
The matrix proof is here : http://mathproofs.blogspot.in/2005/04/nth-term-of-fibonacci-sequence.html
