Goodstein sequences

Will Sladek, a student at Caltech, wrote an excellent introductory paper on incompleteness in , The termite and the tower. While Will was working on his paper, I wrote a short note, Goodstein’s function, on how to compute Goodstein’s function. Please let me know of any comments of corrections to either article.

Update: My paper has been published.
