Ulam sequences and Typst¶

Introduction¶

I recently ran across two areas of interest:

• Ulam numbers
• The Typst (sort-of) replacement for Tex, for producing publication ready, math heavy, documents.

Seeing how Ulam sequences present a challenge for efficient computation, I though I would use Typst to generate a PDF describing my attempts to rise to the challenge. The PDF is here

Conclusions¶

Typst is certainly relatively easy to use, and I could achieve what I wanted in the area of displaying mathematical related diagrams. It even created nice graphs for me.

I will certainly be trying it out for future documents. Sadly, the HTML generation is still a work in progress, and not quite there for what I want.
