In the current investigation I'm going to analyze different kinds of the sequences, which include not only numbers but geometric shapes and stellar numbers as well.

Aim

The aim of the current investigation is to consider different geometric shapes, which lead to specific numbers, to formulate the universal formulas to every specific group of geometric shapes and to test the validity of the gotten general statement.

Procedure

1. The first step is to work out the sequence of triangular pattern of evenly spaced dots. The number of dots in each are
