You are welcome. Are you talking about http://projecteuler.net/ ? I have been experimenting with various ways of learning Haskell, tackling an interesting set of mathematical problems sounds good.
I am. It's turned out to be quite a fun approach and the one that seems to be the most effective, at least for me. On Thursday 12 July 2007 07:50:42 you wrote:

Hello Robert,
Thanks for the comments. The lazy list with Double phi embedded does indeed begin to deviate, at the 81st Fibonacci number, if I'm not mistaken. Another fellow in this thread calculated the deviation points for Double, Float and CReal.
By way of further explanation, I'm writing up various approaches and solutions to the problems posed at Project Euler, discussing the various defects to each approach, comparing the runtimes of solutions and, hopefully, deriving interesting tidbits of math along the way. The project was begun to improve my Haskell ability by exercising it in as many ways on a single idea as possible. I'd not thought of the algorithm you pointed out in SICP and will now happily include it. Thanks.
Brian
