%e Let p(n,x) be the minimal polynomial of the number given by the n-th continued fraction:

%e [2/3,1,1,1,...] = (1+3*sqrt(5))/6 has p(0,x) = -11 - 3 x + 9 x^2, so a(0) = 9;

%e [1,2/3,1,1,...] = (19+9*sqrt(5))/22 has p(1,x) = -1 - 19 x + 11 x^2, so a(1) = 11;

%e [1,1,2/3,1,...] = (-17+9*sqrt(5))/2 has p(2,x) = -29 + 17 x + x^2, so a(2) = 1.
