figuratenum 0.8.0

A generator of infinite sequences of figurate numbers for Python.

FigurateNum

FigurateNum is a set of figurate number generators based on the book Figurate Numbers (2012) by Michel Deza and Elena Deza.

FigurateNum generates the following types of infinite sequences:

• 74 sequences of plane figurate numbers
• 84 sequences of space figurate numbers
• 68 sequences of multidimensional figurate numbers

What is the purpose of FigurateNum?

FigurateNum facilitates the discovery of new patterns among sequences and enables various numerical calculations in mathematical projects and related endeavors. It can be integrated with other software to visualize the geometric objects described. Moreover, it serves as a valuable companion to the book!

How to install?

pip install figuratenum

How to import figuratenum?

import figuratenum as fgn

How to use?

>>> seq = fgn.hyperdodecahedral_numbers()

>>> first = next(seq)
>>> second = next(seq)
>>> third = next(seq)
>>> fourth = next(seq)

>>> print(first, second, third, fourth)
1 600 4983 19468

You could get a list of numbers using a loop:

>>> generator = fgn.k_dimensional_centered_hypertetrahedron_numbers(21)
>>> sequence = []
>>> for _ in range(1, 15):
>>>     next_num = next(generator)
>>>     sequence.append(next_num)

>>> print(sequence)
[1, 23, 276, 2300, 14950, 80730, 376740, 1560780, 5852925, 20160075, 64512240, 193536720, 548354040, 1476337800]

Alternative usage via FigurateNum class

from figuratenum import FigurateNum as fgn

Importing the FigurateNum class allows you to use practical methods to return lists, tuples or arrays with the requested number of elements:

• take(n)
• take_to_list(stop, start, step)
• take_to_array(stop, start, step)
• take_to_tuple(stop, start, step)
• pick(n)

>>> print(fgn.generalized_dodecahedral_numbers(-3).take(8))
[-165, -56, -10, 0, 1, 20, 84, 220]
>>> print(fgn.octadecagonal_pyramidal_numbers().take_to_array(5))
array('i', [1, 19, 70, 170, 335])
