The importance of the roles of mathematics and engineering in the use of computers for solving real world problems cannot be over emphasized. This paper advocates the engagement of professors with diversified experiences of the applications of computers in the real world in teaching lower level computer science courses such as experiments designed to characterize Fibonacci and higher order similar sequences. With the goal of illustrating how scientific discovery experiments are designed, the paper shows certain connections between different areas of mathematics and computer science.
