This is a sequence that was suggested to Joe Crump by the Chinese remainder theorem. I’ve heard theories that the Chinese proved that theorem because it had a practical application as a means to quickly and efficiently count soldiers.
On this Veterans’ Day, we salute all those who have served in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.
