I can no longer edit this comment, but there's a typo at the bottom:
5 > (2 + 3)^1+eps
... should be
5 > (2 * 3 * 5)^1+eps
Which is a good example of the "common case", i.e. not a triple of particularly high quality (this is q=0.4-something).
- legel 9y agoThanks for the edit, I was wondering how that would make sense otherwise. More generally, thanks for clearly communicating what's really going on! Math can only be extremely beautiful if it is actually understood.

Even if I haven't found as many applications in my day-to-day programming life as I hoped (other than maybe when writing Haskell-esque languages or when I'm fortunate to get to use pure FP concepts).
