It is as follows:
Kind of a weird property as the operation on the top changes depending on the value of x.

Very interesting. I have always been fascinated by the fibonacci sequence and the divine ratio.
 
2 is Fibonacci number 4, and 1 is Fibonacci number 2 (and 3, but let's go with 2). Let's try it out:
(2)^2 + (-1)(1)^2 = 3. 3 / 1 = 3. Is 3 Fibonacci number (2*4 - 2)? Fibonacci number 6? No, 3 is Fibonacci number 5.
I 'dunno man, I think it doesn't hold up.

Just realized my stupidity. This equation has F1=1, F2=1, F3=2...so it starts with 1 and 1 and then goes onward instead of 0 and 1 as the first two terms. I'm working on a new equation that uses 0 and 1 as the first two. However, this equation does hold up when 1 and 1 are the first terms. When 1 and 1 are the first 2 terms, 2 is fib number 3 and 1 is number 1. Therefore the quotient should be 2*3-(3-1)=4, and 3 is indeed fib number 4 when 1 and 1 are the first terms of the sequence.

Me as well.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
