Title: Generalized Fibonacci Sequences Mod 10n

Abstract: The generalized Fibonacci sequence beginning at any two numbers, (x,y) is observed to have special patterns when applied with the modulus function.  Expanding from an article by D.D. Wall, this seminar explores the different complicated patterns formed by the Fibonacci sequence mod 10n.  Included are speculations on explicitly defining these patterns in mathematical terms, attempts to prove and predict future patterns,and possible applications of my research.
