Daniele C. Struppa is the Donald Bren Presidential Chair in Mathematics at Chapman University, where he has been serving as President since 2016. Struppa is the author of more than 200 publications, mostly focused on Fourier and Hypercomplex Analysis, and his recent work is centered on applications of Fourier Analysis to questions arising from quantum mechanics and the theory of superoscillations. One of the papers he coauthored on this topic was awarded the Cozzarelli Prize from the National Academy of Sciences in 2016. Struppa lives in Newport Beach, California, with his wife and two of his four children.

“This book offers a fresh and enjoyable way to learn about Fibonacci’s life and work, while also capturing the time and place in which he lived. This broader view makes the book more than just a story about one man – it’s also about the period that shaped him and how he influenced the future. It’s a great choice for anyone interested in math, history, or how the past has shaped the modern world.” (Ren Guo, zbMATH 1556.01003, 2025)
