Might be way too simple, but for pure elegance, the classic algorithm for
b-smooth numbers never ceases to make me feel all warm and fuzzy:

Hi all!
In a couple weeks I will be giving a short (15-min.) talk to an audience of mostly mathematicians, entitled "Executable Mathematics: A Whirlwind Introduction to Haskell". The idea will be to give a flavor of Haskell, its uniquenesses, and why it is a great language for playing around with mathematics, by way of some well-chosen examples. There are definitely plenty of such examples out there, and I've already found quite a few

I might use, but I thought I would send an email to the cafe to ask whether anyone has any code which you think particularly exemplifies some aspect of why Haskell is a great language for mathematics. I'm looking to include a wide range of examples, so any length (from a few to hundreds of lines of code) and any level (from simple number theory to things only a few people in the world understand) are fair game.
Thanks in advance! And yes, I will definitely make the slides available after the talk. I don't know if I can promise a video, I kind of doubt the sessions will be videotaped. I guess we'll see.

You might find
