Note to User

The Numberscope tool is currently under development! This is just a prototype site. If you're interested, you can find the source code for the under-development tool on GitHub. The full tool will allow for an interactive experience, including choosing your own sequences by OEIS number or by formula. Meanwhile, you can view some proof-of-concept designs here, using some of our favorite OEIS sequences.
