== Marking as "draft" ==
I am marking this task as "draft". It should have started out in draft status, but has never been in draft status.
Also, currently:
* The task description uses notation [1;3,5] and [3;7] but this notation does not appear in any of the implementations (well, in some as a literal string, but it is not used for computational purposes). This is either a red herring or needs documentation. Perhaps it's a reference into some external manuscript? Or perhaps it has to do with a method for constructing continued fractions? Whatever is going on should be stated more clearly.
* The task description uses the notation "+ 1/2" which apparently corresponds to an "NG matrix" with a1=2, a=1, b1=0, b=2 and the notation "divided by 4" which apparently corresponds to an "NG matrix" with a1=1, a=0, b1=0, b=4. There is probably a good reason for this, but that should also be documented. Some implementations also use other "NG Matrices" but why?
* The task mentions generating an Arithmetic-geometric mean but neglects to mention what this would be a mean of.
* The task mentions the expression <math>\frac{1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{2}</math> but none of the implementations use that expression, nor does a continued fraction expression representing that value (such as 0 1 5 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1...) seem to appear in the current implementations. Some implementations include a continued fraction for <math>\frac{1 + \sqrt{2}}{2}</math> but that's not the same (similar, but different).
Anyways... this draft has potential, but it also needs some work. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 10:25, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
