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.

A225201 Triangle (read by rows) of coefficients of the polynomials (in ascending order) of the denominators of the generalized sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of generalized fractions f(n) defined recursively by f(1) = m/1; f(n+1) is chosen so that the sum and the product of the first n terms of the sequence are equal.

The degree of the polynomial in row n > 1 is 2^(n-1) - 1, hence the number of coefficients in row n >= 1 is given by 2^(n-1) = A000079(n-1).
For n > 1 a new row begins always with -1 and ends always with 1.
The coefficients in row n are the first k negative coefficients in row n+1 in A225200.
The sum and product of the generalized sequence of fractions given by m^(2^(n-2)) divided by the polynomial p(n) are equal, i.e.,
m + m/(m-1) = m * m/(m-1) = m^2/(m-1);
m + m/(m-1) + m^2/(m^2-m+1) = m * (m/(m-1)) * m^2/(m^2-m+1) = m^4/(m^3-2*m^2+2*m-1).
