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.

A028398 When map in A006368 is iterated, all numbers fall into cycles; order cycles by smallest entry; a(n) is smallest entry in n-th cycle (some cycles are infinite).
