RE: [VA] SRC#002- Almost integers and other beasties
Exp(Pi*Sqrt(163)) is one of the classic examples. The explanation is rather complicated. Other expressions, for example:
({[Sqrt(5)+1]/2}^n)/Sqrt(5) is close to the Fibonacci numbers; in fact ({[Sqrt(5)+1]/2}^n-{[1-Sqrt(5)]/2}^n)/Sqrt(5) is the well-known Binet formula for Fibonacci numbers. This sequence works by successive approximation to an integer the 163 sequence just seems to happen.
