Exploring a Farey Sequence

Begin by using the mouse to adjust the frame divider so that the full mathlet is exposed, but this text area is of maximum possible width.

As usual with a good mathlet, readers will find their own valuable ways to set up demonstrations with our Farey Sequence Explorer, but following the directions in the seven links below will introduce its functionality.

  1. Setting the value of n.

  2. Identifying the numbers.

  3. Zooming and moving the number line.

  4. Introducing decimal scales.

  5. Adding real numbers.

  6. The Golden Mean.

  7. A classical function.

Any reader who develops an interesting demonstration with the Farey Sequence Explorer is encouraged to send it to one of us (Keith Taylor) at kft@mathstat.dal.ca.
