a sample plot

Here's an example of how to make a labeled plot of a curve and some points.

Fib on a log scale

Generate a bunch of fibonacci values and plot 'em on a log scale.

So on a log scale, the Fibonacci series is a straight line ... which means that it is a power law, approximately fib[n] ~ $a * b^n$ for some constants $a$ and $b$.

It turns out that $b$ is the golden ratio $k = 1.62... $

For a really good time we can even use xkcd style !

OK, so now we're having fun. :)
