%What is the index of the first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits?
%This project uses the symbolic library. Make sure that you install the symbolic library as well as sympy before running this script
%The way to do this is run this command in octave: pkg install -forge symbolic
%This library requires sympy as well. This is easily installed with pip: pip install sympy

Results:
I partially tested this and it seems to be working propperly.
Because I am using the symbolic package to simulate a bigint library it is very slow.
It looks as though it would take several days before it finished.
