2. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

   In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [ a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size. With the restricted definition, each Farey sequence starts with the value 0, denoted ...

3. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a / b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 8 −5 ⁠.

4. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

   Now, ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ = 2 + ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠; the remaining fractional part, ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠, is the reciprocal of ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠, and ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠ is around 6.1429. Use 6 as an approximation for this to obtain 2 + ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ as an approximation for ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ and 4 + ⁠ 1 / 2 + ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ ⁠ , about 4.4615, as the third approximation.

5. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   Partial fraction decomposition. In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions ...

6. Heptagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagram

   This is the smallest star polygon that can be drawn in two forms, as irreducible fractions. The two heptagrams are sometimes called the heptagram (for {7/2}) and the great heptagram (for {7/3}). The previous one, the regular hexagram {6/2}, is a compound of two triangles. The smallest star polygon is the {5/2} pentagram.

7. Pell number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

   In mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers, known since ancient times, that comprise the denominators of the closest rational approximations to the square root of 2. This sequence of approximations begins ⁠ 1 1 ⁠, ⁠ 3 2 ⁠, ⁠ 7 5 ⁠, ⁠ 17 12 ⁠, and ⁠ 41 29 ⁠, so the sequence of Pell numbers begins ...
