Students' Final Presentation of their class projects for Dr. Z.'s Experimental Mathematics Class (Math 640), Spring 2026 (Rutgers University)

Project 2:

Part I (formerly Project 1)

Using the preliminary Maple package (that you should expand) DZtools.txt, try to get as many sequences as possible for enumerating the number of lattice walks from the origin to [n,...,n] using a symmetric set of steps. Find which ones are already in the OEIS, and for new ones, enter at least some of them to the OEIS.

Also (for the OEIS) find the asymptotic expressions for the sequences using procedures Asy and/or AsyC in the Maple package

AsyRec.txt
(type ezra(Asy) and ezra(AsyC) for instructions)

Part II (formerly the original project 2)

Using the preliminary Maple package (that you should expand) DZtools.txt, try to get as many sequences as possible for enumerating the number of lattice walks from the origin back to the origin in n steps using a symmetric set of steps and their reverses. Find which ones are already in the OEIS, and for new ones, enter at least some of them to the OEIS.

Also (for the OEIS) find the asymptotic expressions for the sequences using procedures Asy and/or AsyC in the Maple package
