Ulam's Spiral (Desmos)

Shows the famous coordinate spiral of integers up to 1000. The closed form of the nth coordinate pair is absurdly long and took a while to figure out!

You can also highlight the primes by clicking its folder, and observe how they line up.

Recamán Sequence (Desmos)

This graph shows the sequence for which:
a(0) = 0

a(n) := a(n-1) + n otherwise

Displays up to the 1000th term - you can also show the (n,a(n)) graph by clicking its folder.
