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.

A081232 Let p = n-th prime of the form 4k+1, take smallest solution (x,y) to the Pellian equation x^2 - p*y^2 = 1 with x and y >= 1; sequence gives value of x.

Examples

			For n = 1, p = 5, x=9, y=4 since 9^2 = 5*4^2 + 1, so a(1) = 9.
