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.

A089801 a(n) = 0 unless n = 3j^2 + 2j or 3j^2 + 4j + 1 for some j >= 0, in which case a(n) = 1.
