[seqfan] Re: How to enter sequences with many zeros

[israel at math.ubc.ca]

The Style Sheet says:

| If every second term is zero (A, 0, B, 0, C, 0, D, 0, E, ...) then 
| normally we | omit the zeros and list the sequence as A, B, C, D, E, ...

However, there are exceptions, and a "geometric interpretation of n" might 
be a good reason to make an exception.
