EXAMPLE
sqrt(sqrt(2) - 1) = 0.643594252905582624735443437418... = [0; 1, 1, 1, 4, 6, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 6, ...], the convergents of which are 0/1, 1/0, [0/1], 1, 1/2, 2/3, 9/14, 56/87, 65/101, 186/289, 437/679, 1060/1647, 1497/2326, ..., with brackets marking index 0. Those prior to index 0 are for initializing the recurrence.
