Thomas A. Scott Professor of Mathematics University of Pennsylvania A Combinatorialist Counts the Rational Numbers We show that there is an (amazing!) integer valued function f(n) (n=0,1,2,...) such that(a) the sequence f(0)/f(1), f(1)/f(2), f(2)/f(3), ... consists of all of the positive rational numbers, each occurring once and only once, and
