Gaps in the fossil record

Romer's gap

Romer's gap is an example of an apparent gap in the tetrapod fossil record used in the study of evolutionary biology. Such gaps represent periods from which excavators have not yet found relevant fossils. Romer's gap is named after paleontologist Alfred Romer, who first recognised it. Recent discoveries in Scotland are beginning to close this gap in palaeontological knowledge. (Wikipedia).

Prime Gaps and The Crazy Sequences of Steps

When we try to avoid multiples of numbers using sequences we find a very unique way to create a prime list that has its own properties and curiosities. These sequences are state machines that can become very complex to generate but should be very simple to read.

Limit of (4u^4 + 5)/((u^2 - 2)(2u^2 - 1)) as u approaches infinity

Limit of (4u^4 + 5)/((u^2 - 2)(2u^2 - 1)) as u approaches infinity. This is a calculus problem where we find a limit as u approaches infinity. In this case we have a rational function and the numerator and denominator have the same growth rate, so the limit is the ratio of the leading coef
