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.

Comments

Since b(3) = 3/2, a(3) could also be taken to be 1.

Examples

			The first few fractions b(n) are 1, 2, 3/2, 8/3, 15/8, 16/5, 35/16, 128/35, 315/128, 256/63, 693/256, 1024/231, 3003/1024, 2048/429, ...
