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.

A386559 Place a point on the integer coordinates, up to |n|, along all four axial directions on a Cartesian plane, and then join an infinite straight line between every pair of points: a(n) is the number of points where lines intersect in the resulting graph.

%C A386559 It appears that for n >= 3 the intersection that is furthest from the origin is formed by the crossing of the lines y = n/(n-1)*x + n and y = (n-1)/(n-2)*x - (n-1), along with the seven other symmetrically equivalent intersections. These intersections have a distance from the origin of approximately sqrt(8)*n^3 as n -> infinity.
