Hi there,
I recently discovered a formula for the nth term that works for any finite sequence of numbers. I was just wondering whether a formula has already been discovered, and if not, how and where I should publish it.
To give you an example of what i mean:
one formula for the nth term of any sequence with two numbers is:
(Un)=(u1)+((u2)-(u1))(n-1)
I've tried googling a formula but have come up with nothing. I asked my maths teacher and he didn't know either. He recommended that I consider publishing it.
(I'm worried that if I post the formula on this website, someone might steal it and I won't get credit for its discovery (if it is in fact my discovery). I'd also like your opinion on this.)
Thanks.
