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.

A309080 Product minus sum of all previous terms in the sequence, starting with a(1) = 2 and a(2) = 5.

Programs

  • Mathematica
    x1 = 2; x2 = 5; p = x1 * x2; s = x1 + x2; x = p - s; A309080 = {x1, x2, x}; Do[p = p * x; s = s + x; x = p - s; AppendTo[A309080, x], {n, 16}]
  • Python
    a, n, p, s = [2,5], 2, 2, 2
    while n < 10:
        p, s, n = p*a[len(a)-1], s+a[len(a)-1], n+1
        a = a+[p-s]
    for n in range(1, 11): print(a[n-1], end=', ') # A.H.M. Smeets, Aug 22 2019

Formula

a(n) = Product_{k=1..n-1} a(k) - Sum_{k=1..n-1} a(k) with a(1) = 2, a(2) = 5.
