Integer Sequence

A Sequence whose terms are Integers. The most complete printed references for such sequences are Sloane (1973) and its update, Sloane and Plouffe (1995). Sloane also maintains the sequences from both works together with many additional sequences in an on-line listing. In this listing, sequences are identified by a unique 6-Digit A-number. Sequences appearing in Sloane and Plouffe (1995) are ordered lexicographically and identified with a 4-Digit M-number, and those appearing in Sloane (1973) are identified with a 4-Digit N-number.


Sloane's huge (and enjoyable) database is accessible by either e-mail or web browser. To look up sequences by e-mail, send a message to either mailto:sequences@research.att.com or mailto:superseeker@research.att.com containing lines of the form lookup 5 14 42 132 ....
