I agree that Fibonacci first developed his famous series to see the reproduction rate of rabbits.

But, what would I use this series for today in computer programming applications?

I personally have only seen one practical use of the series, and that was for a polyphase merge sort used on an IBM mainframe with only 3 tape drives available. The Fibonacci series determined how many internally sorted "runs" were distributed onto each of the tapes, so that only one of the 3 tapes (the one with the least number of runs) had to be rewound at the end of a given sort pass.

Polyphase merge sorts have become a popular academic topic. Many implementations using more than 3 tapes still continue to use the Fibonacci series. It works, although studies have shown that this series is not the most efficient for over 3 tapes.
