| ``Sloan Sequences.''

| I've seen a recent high interest in integer pattern/sequence entries for PM. Most of these quote Sloane's On-line encyclopedia of integer sequences. As I play with the OEIS, I think it is a wonderful site that gives formulas, alternate formulas, related sequences, and loads of article references on just about every sequence you could imagine. I just wonder what value we are are adding in our PM entries?
Is there a way to contect these articles together into some interesting theorems from number theory? Make these entries a more connected part of the theoretical and applied entires on PM?
I fear we could never out do the exposition and depth of the Sloan index if we wish to serve simply as a catalogue. If I were searching for integer sequences on-line I would probably prefer to be directed quickly to Sloans index and by-pass PM, no offense meant to PM and its users, unless PM's articles truly brought out deeper understanding. |
