This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Also number of fixed effects ANOVA models with n factors, which may be both crossed and nested.

Examples

			R. P. Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Cambridge, Vol. 1, Chap. 3, page 98, Fig. 3-1 (or 2nd. ed., Fig. 3.1, p. 243) shows the unlabeled posets with <= 4 points.
From _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 14 2019: (Start)
Also the number of unlabeled T_0 topologies with n points. For example, non-isomorphic representatives of the a(4) = 16 topologies are:
  {}{1}{12}{123}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{123}{1234}
  {}{1}{12}{13}{123}{1234}
  {}{1}{12}{123}{124}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{13}{123}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{123}{124}{1234}
  {}{1}{12}{13}{123}{124}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{13}{123}{124}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{13}{123}{134}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{3}{12}{13}{23}{123}{1234}
  {}{1}{2}{12}{13}{24}{123}{124}{1234}
