Nobody likes the $\approx$ symbol. They prefer the $=$ symbol or inequalities. However, this symbol is needed when working with Fibonacci numbers. For example the approximation: $F_n-1 + \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} \approx F_n$, where F stands for Fibonacci number. But there is an exact formula for Fibonacci numbers that have no $\approx$ symbol. Fib(n) = https://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/6/d/86d486c560727727342090b432e23ba85ac098b1.png
