[edit] Integer part and floor

Isn't it kind of redundant to say 'the integer part of' in the first line, since the expression has the floor function? Carifio24 02:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there is redundancy. The floor symbol is not that well-known, so I don't think "integer part of" should just be removed, but maybe remove "of" or the floor symbol, or reformulate. PrimeHunter 03:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] let's think rationally

How much of the continued fraction form is known? —Tamfang 22:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why A?

Why does this A get the glory, rather than B = A3 such that \lfloor B^{n}\;\rfloor is prime, a simpler definition? —Tamfang 22:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Um. A3n should be read as A(3n), not (A3)n. —David Eppstein 22:50, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Ah, thank you, that detail of typography escaped me. —Tamfang 01:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
