A Handbook of Integer Sequences
There are no approved revisions of this page, so it may not have been A Handbook of Integer Sequences, N. J. A. Sloane, Academic Press,, NY, 1973, xiii+206 pp., ISBN 0-12-648550-X.
The Handbook contains 2372 sequences in lexicographic order which are assigned numbers from 1 to 2372. It only includes sequences of nonnegative integers, sequences containing negative numbers being replaced by their absolute values. Only infinite (or conjectured to be, e.g. Mersenne primes) sequences are included. The lexicographic order is defined by omitting all initial 0's and 1's and replacing them by a single 1. The initial 1 is added even if it was not in the original sequence.[1]
History
1965 Neil Sloane begins collecting integer sequences on file cards, which were later transferred to computer punched cards.
