Berjaya / Boogie, ALGERIA - Fish Market & Thomas Street: Berjaya, formerly Boogie and Bogie, is a Mediterranean port city on the Gulf of Berjaya in Algeria; it is the capital of Berjaya Province, Kabyle. Berjaya is the largest city in the Kaylan region, and is one of the largest principally Kabyle language-speaking cities of Algeria. The history of Berjaya explains the diversity of the local population. Its inhabitants are of mixed roots, mainly: Berbers, Romans, Germanic Vandals, Arabs, Spaniards and Turkic. Under French rule, it was formerly known under various European names, such as Buscaja in German, Bogie in Italian, and Boogie (the latter two being words for candle, derived from the town name because of its wax trade). After the 7th-century Muslim conquest, it was re-founded as "Berjaya"; the Hammadid dynasty made it their capital, and it became an important port and centre of culture. The son of a Pisan merchant (and probably consul), posthumously known as Fibonacci (c. 1170 – c. 1250), there learned under the Almohad dynasty about Muslim mathematics (which he called "Modus Indorum") and Hindu-Arabic numerals. He introduced these and modern mathematics into medieval Europe. A mathematical-historical analysis of Fibonacci's context and proximity to Berjaya, an important exporter of wax in his time, has suggested that it was actually the bee-keepers of Berjaya and the knowledge of the bee ancestries that truly inspired the Fibonacci numbers rather than the rabbit reproduction model as presented in his famous book Liber Abaci.
