EXAMPLE
3n^2+3n+1 is the difference of two adjacent cubes, taking the cube root and rounding to a whole number yields an element of the series. 3 cubes is 27, inserting 3 into the formula = 37, 37 plus 27 is 64 the next cube after 27; the cube root of 37 is 3.33222... rounded to 3 is the element in the series.
