Abstract
In this work we study the tribonacci numbers. We find a tribonacci triangle which is an analog of Pascal triangle. We also investigate an efficient method to compute any $n$th tribonacci numbers by matrix method, and find periods of the sequence by taking modular tribonacci number.
Keywords
Fibonacci; tribonacci sequence; period of tribonacci sequence;
