%N A036561 Triangle of numbers in which i-th row is {2^(i-j)*3^j, 0<=j<=i}; i >=
0.
%C A036561 The triangle pertaining to this sequence has the property that every
row, every column and every diagonal contains a nontrivial geometric
progression. More interestingly every line joining any two elements
contains a nontrivial geometric progression. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com),

%C A036561 Kappraff states (p. 148-149): "I shall refer to this as Nicomachus' table
since an identical table of numbers appeared in the Arithmetic of
Nicomachus of Gerasa (circa 150 A.D.)" The table was rediscovered
during the Italian Renaissance by Leon Battista Alberti, who incorporated
the numbers in dimensions of his buildings and in a system of musical
proportions. Kappraff states "Therefore a room could exhibit a 4:6
or 6:9 ratio but not 4:9. This insured that ratios of these lengths
would embody musical ratios". - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com),
