Show HN: Math Puzzle

Paste 'big.js' [1] into your web console. Run the following code - can you figure out WHY it works and what it represents? let printN = (maxN) => { let nextVal = (x,n) => { let b2 = new Big(2); let val = b2.pow(n).mul(3).mul(b2.minus(x).sqrt()); console.log(val.toString()); return x.plus(2).sqrt(); }; let s = (new Big(3)).sqrt().plus(2).sqrt(); for (let n=2;...
