From: Patsloane-AT-aol.com Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 03:44:10 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: PLC: Numb&Coh>>Fibonacci&Gold Metin, This is the beginning of the series of triangular numbers. 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66.... For the 4th term in the series, 10 = 0.5((4x4)+4) For the 11th term, 66=0.5((11x11)+11) Hope this is clear. I checked the series of ratios between consecutive terms, and it's nothing at all like the series of ratios between consecutive terms in the Fibonacci series. For one thing, the terms in the series of ratios (between consdecutive terms in the triangular number series) grow progressively larger, not progressively smaller. Also, the alternation I mentioned in my last post isn't present. Each term in the series of ratios is larger than the previous term. pat --- from list phillitcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
