3,0,4,2,8
what comes next?
----------------------
I ran a linear, quadratic, cubic, then quartic regression program
on the data (using 1,2,3,4,5 as the domain) and got the following
"best fit" quartic: y = 1.125x^4-13.416667x^3+55.87x^2 -93.58333x+ 53
-------------------
Then the next term is f(6) = 63
=====================================
