https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobsthal%20number | In mathematics, the Jacobsthal numbers are an integer sequence named after the German mathematician Ernst Jacobsthal. Like the related Fibonacci numbers, they are a specific type of Lucas sequence for which P = 1, and Q = −2—and are defined by a similar recurrence relation: in simple terms, the sequence starts with 0... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered%20geometry | Ordered geometry is a form of geometry featuring the concept of intermediacy (or "betweenness") but, like projective geometry, omitting the basic notion of measurement. Ordered geometry is a fundamental geometry forming a common framework for affine, Euclidean, absolute, and hyperbolic geometry (but not for projective... |
