Course Description

Overview

Explore the challenges of extending polynumber on-sequences in this mathematics lecture. Delve into the complexities of introducing exponomials and recursive sequences, examining their logical issues and definitional ambiguities. Investigate examples from the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), including Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Catalan numbers, and Euler numbers. Analyze the problems with exponomials, non-uniqueness of representations, and the difficulties in defining recursive on-sequences. Gain insights into Euclid numbers related to Egyptian fractions and the sequence n²_1. Understand why further work is needed before exponomials and general recursive on-sequences can be fully incorporated into mathematical foundations.
