OEIS A000079: Powers of Two

Take a deep dive into OEIS A000079, the powers of two. From counting subsets to binary foundations in computer science, and from Mersenne primes and perfect numbers to unexpected guests like unimodal permutations, addition chains, and the staircase problem, this episode reveals how a simple doubling sequence threads through many areas of math and the real world. We also tease digit cycles, binary representations, and even the use of powers of two in music timing.
