  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Singh cites Pingala's cryptic formula misrau cha ("the two are mixed") and scholars who interpret it in context as saying that the number of patterns for m beats (F m+1) is obtained by adding one [S] to the F m cases and one [L] to the F m−1 cases. [12] Bharata Muni also expresses knowledge of the sequence in the Natya Shastra (c. 100 BC–c ...

  3. Look-and-say sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence

    This version of the pea pattern eventually forms a cycle with the two "atomic" terms 23322114 and 32232114. Other versions of the pea pattern are also possible; for example, instead of reading the digits as they first appear, one could read them in ascending order instead (sequence A005151 in the OEIS). In this case, the term following 21 would ...

  4. Catalan number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number

    C n is the number of noncrossing partitions of the set {1, ..., n}. A fortiori, C n never exceeds the n-th Bell number. C n is also the number of noncrossing partitions of the set {1, ..., 2n} in which every block is of size 2. C n is the number of ways to tile a stairstep shape of height n with n rectangles. Cutting across the anti-diagonal ...

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    These numbers are the lowest ones with the indicated step count, but not necessarily the only ones below the given limit. As an example, 9 780 657 631 has 1132 steps, as does 9 780 657 630 . The starting values having the smallest total stopping time with respect to their number of digits (in base 2) are the powers of two since 2 n is halved n ...

  6. Wheel factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_factorization

    Wheel factorization with n = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30.No primes will occur in the yellow areas. Wheel factorization is a method for generating a sequence of natural numbers by repeated additions, as determined by a number of the first few primes, so that the generated numbers are coprime with these primes, by construction.

  7. List of integer sequences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_integer_sequences

    A number that has the same number of digits as the number of digits in its prime factorization, including exponents but excluding exponents equal to 1. A046758: Extravagant numbers: 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 38, ... A number that has fewer digits than the number of digits in its prime factorization (including ...

  8. Square pyramidal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramidal_number

    In mathematics, a pyramid number, or square pyramidal number, is a natural number that counts the stacked spheres in a pyramid with a square base. The study of these numbers goes back to Archimedes and Fibonacci. They are part of a broader topic of figurate numbers representing the numbers of points forming regular patterns within different shapes.

  9. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b).. In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.
