Demystifying - Position-to-term rules

Drills

Generating any term straight from its position, without stepping through every term before it.

Author note — to cover

Generate any term directly from a position-to-term rule given in words or as an expression like 3n + 1, without stepping through earlier terms, and compare the efficiency against term-to-term for distant terms. Finding the nth term yourself belongs to the linear nth term group. Both tiers. (A23)
