Examples

			Let u = 2^(1/3), and let p(n,x) be the minimal polynomial of the number given by the n-th continued fraction:
[u,1,1,1,...] has p(0,x)  = -5 - 15 x - 6 x^2 - 9 x^3 + 3 x^5 + x^6, so that a(0) = 3.
[1,u,1,1,1,...] has p(1,x) = -11 + 45 x - 66 x^2 + 35 x^3 + 6 x^4 - 15 x^5 + 5 x^6, so that a(1) = -15;
[1,1,u,1,1,1...] has p(2,x) = 131 - 633 x + 1110 x^2 - 969 x^3 + 456 x^4 - 111 x^5 + 11 x^6, so that a(2) = -111.
