  Integer sequence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An integer sequence may be specified explicitly by giving a formula for its nth term, or implicitly by giving a relationship between its terms.
The set of computable integer sequences and definable integer sequences are both countable, with the computable sequences a proper subset of the definable sequences.
The set of all integer sequences is uncountable; thus, almost all integer sequences are uncomputable and cannot be defined.

 On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any sequence with this keyword ought to be cross-referenced to its matching sequence of numerators or denominators, though this may be dispensed with for sequences of Egyptian fractions, such as A069257, where the sequence of numerators would be A000012.
If a sequence has the keyword "full," it should also have the keyword "fini." One example of a finite sequence given in full is that of the supersingular primes A002267, of which there are precisely fifteen.
Sequence A073502, the magic constant for n X n magic square with prime entries (regarding 1 as a prime) with smallest row sums, is an example of a sequence with offset 3, and A072171, "Number of stars of visual magnitude n." is an example of a sequence with offset -1.

There are sequences in the OEIS that relate to physics — such as the centered cube numbers that relate to shells of atoms — biology and even music (such as 2, 2, 4, 4, 2, 6, 6, 2, 8, 8, 16, which is in the lyrics of an Argentine children’s song).
Sloane started rounding up integer sequences in the 1960s, entering them on punch cards, when he was working on neural networks as a graduate student at Cornell University.
Although Sloane acknowledges that all the “core” sequences — such as the prime numbers, Catalan numbers, and the Fibonacci sequence — are already in the database, he believes the OEIS has an infinite potential for expansion.

Many people are familiar with the Fibonacci sequence, in which each new term is the sum of the previous two terms: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, and so on.
The sequence was discovered last year by Jonathan Ayres, and it now appears as entry A064413 in Sloane's encyclopedia.
For instance, whenever a prime p occurs in the sequence, it is preceded by 2p and followed by 3p.

 Welcome to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences
If your sequence isn't in the database, and if it is interesting, please submit it using the web page for contributing a new sequence or comment.
Most of the sequences are arranged in the database in lexicographic order of absolute values, indexed by the position of the first term that is greater than 1 in absolute value.
Sequences that contain only 0's, 1's and -1's are in strict lexicographic order by absolute value at the beginning of the table.

 SIAM Review of ``An Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences'' by N. J. A. Sloane & Simon Plouffe
The idea is that a researcher who encounters a sequence in her or his work, and wishes to quickly find out what is known about the sequence (does it have a name, for example, such as ``the Euler numbers'' or ``the Stirling numbers of the first kind''?), can look it up here.
Some of the heuristics discussed in chapters 1, 2, and 3 (before the table of sequences proper begins) give useful hints as to what to do when the computer programs don't work; they also give a nice conceptual model of the inner workings of the programs.
Further, about 25% of the sequences in the book are obtained from a rational generating function or elementary manipulation thereof (reversion, undoing a logarithmic differentiation, etc.).

Sloane picks the category "Integer Sequences" for $400, and Alex Trebek reads the answer: "1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...." Sloane instantly supplies the question: "What are the Fibonacci numbers?" Later it is Plouffe's turn, and he selects "Real Numbers" for $1,000.
He is also the author of the Handbook of Integer Sequences, a compendium of some 2,300 sequences, published in 1973.
