cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

%C A020735 Values of n such that a regular polygon with n sides can be formed by tying knots in a strip of paper. - Robert A. J. Matthews (rajm(AT)compuserve.com)
%C A020735 These polygons fill in many of the gaps left by the Greeks, who were restricted to compass and ruler. Specifically, they make possible construction of the regular 7-sided heptagon, 9-sided nonagon, 11-gon and 13-gon. The 14-gon becomes the first to be impossible by either ruler, compass or knotting.
%C A020735 Continued fraction expansion of 2/(exp(2)-7). - _Thomas Baruchel_, Nov 04 2003
%C A020735 Pisot sequence T(5,7). - _David W. Wilson_
%C A020735 Sun conjectures that any member of this sequence is of the form m^2 + m + p, where p is prime. Blanco-Chacon, McGuire, & Robinson prove that the primes of this form have density 1. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 20 2019
