[seqfan] Re: Fibonacci numbers in Golden Ratio Base

Wed Oct 15 21:22:55 CEST 2014

Dale, those are fascinating videos!
I have taken the liberty of adding links (with some of
your comments) to them  to A001654, A010048, A005248, A002878.

I also added them to the Index to the OEIS in the entry
for "videos, sequences with ..."

They really enhance the OEIS and I wish
we had more videos and movies and animations.

If you make any more videos that we can
use to illustrate sequences,
please add links to them in the OEIS yourself

Best regards

Neil
