Yes indeed, showing the number of steps to reach 1, log-scaled in both x and y, for n up to a billion. I might have to get a poster made of something like this: http://lunkwill.org/tmp/collatzposter.png -J
I've been interested in fostering more mathematical art myself. So, I've started a $500 contest for a math poster. The only major rule is that the poster must be entirely in vector format, and that all references be acknowledged. http://www.mathpuzzle.com/VectorMathPoster.htm I added about 30 news items in my last update. http://www.mathpuzzle.com/ Ed Pegg Jr
Not a poster, not vectors, but functional: http://richard.schroeppel.name:8015/carmath.JPG Hilarie
