Who is Fibonacci?

Fibonacci's Problem:

"Start with a pair of rabbits, (one male and one female) born on January 1.

Assume that all months are of equal length and that :

1. rabbits begin to produce young two months after their own birth;

2. after reaching the age of two months, each pair produces a mixed pair,

(one male, one female), and then another mixed pair each month thereafter;

and

3. no rabbit dies.

How many pairs of rabbits will there be after one year?"
