So you have a sequence of integers and you want to know more about it. What’s the next number? Does it have significance in any field of mathematical study? Or just, what’s so special about this list of numbers? You can go to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequence and stick in the first few elements of the sequence and, if it’s in the database, you’ll have a wealth of information that could fulfill your dreams. If, on that rare occasion, you find an interesting sequence that is not in the database you are invited to submit it with any interesting information you might be able to provide on the sequence.
This is certainly going to be added to my lecture in both College Algebra and Calculus II/III when the topic of sequences arises.
