$Next = \frac{Now + 1}{Last}$: From Elementary Mathematics to Elliptic Curves with GeoGebra Steve Phelps GeoGebra Institute of Ohio (USA) Madeira High School University of Cincinnati Email: steve.phelps@geogebra.org Twitter: @giohio Facebook: tinyurl.com/giohiofacebook This Talk: tinyurl.com/ggbna2012 GGBNA 2013: midwestggb.com/conference This is my presentation for the 2012 North American GeoGebra Conference, which chronicles my GeoGebra investigation into a simple little problem found in these two resources: [list] [*]Sawyer, W.W. (1961). Lyness’ Periodic Sequence. The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 45, No. 353, p. 207. The Mathematical Association of America [*]Lyness, R.C. (1961). Cycles. The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 45, No. 353, p. 207-209. The Mathematical Association of America [/list] The problem is so simple, it can be readily understood by an elementary school student, yet is deep and rich enough to be the focus of graduate level mathematics research.
