[seqfan] Re: A002094 from 1875 needs more terms

[Peter Munn]

Is it possible, though, for someone who understands it to add a comment
about the sequence's origins and how Schiff saw it? Reading A002094 now,
it is mathematically much improved, but feels a little divorced from its
history, and thereby seems to have lost something.

Best Regards,

Peter
