  • » Intro

    Hello, my name is Dan.

    I am a software engineer, mathematics lover, radio ham and musician.

    I work remotely to care for my future wife, Tsumiki.

    I also enjoy discordant and nonsensical commentary.

    I can speak about maths, physics, computer science and linguistics at length.

    Both my physical and mental health are very low at the moment, but I am always more than happy to talk about them.

    • Fibromyalgia
    • Asperger's Syndrome

  • » Maths

    Mathematics has always been a great pastime for me.

    I have invented quite a few visualisations and generators for several interesting pieces of mathematics, some of which you can see and try on my projects repo on GitHub

    Some notable (read: working right now) examples are:

    • Continued Fraction Expander
    • A set of gravity simulators (sun version, left click for planets, middle click for stars), (black hole version)
    • Cell Automata
    • Stern-Brocot Graph Tones (warning: loud audio)
       (this is actually the answer similar to the riddle I posed on my YouTube channel)

    My current OEIS contributions are:

    • A275124: Multiples of 5 where Pisano periods of Fibonacci numbers A001175 and Lucas numbers A106291 agree.
    • A275167: Pisano periods of A275124.
