Computing the Fibonacci sequence via recursive function calls

Problem In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, that is characterized by the fact that every number after the first two is the sum of the two preceding ones: \[0,~1,~1,~2,~3,~5,~8,~13,~21,~34,~55,~89,~144,~\dots\]...
