+;;; series.el --- Hosting common series of numbers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24"))
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Encoding number series as I learn about them.
+;;
+;; These are the following series I'm interested in supporting:
+;; - Fibonacci
+;; - Catalan numbers
+;; - Figurate number series
+;;   - Triangular
+;;   - Square
+;;   - Pentagonal
+;;   - Hexagonal
+;;   - Lazy-caterer
+;; - Magic square
+;; - Look-and-say
