Neil Sloane, who is the father of the encyclopedia of integer sequences, has produced a paper, which highlights seven of them. There are no problems to solve there (other than some hard open ones!), but lots of interesting stuff. For example, you might like to try and prove the following result before reading it:

Consider the sequence defined as follows a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2, and for n >= 3, a(n) is the smallest positive integer not yet in the sequence such that gcd(a(n), a(n-1)) > 1. Prove that every positive integer eventually appears in the sequence.
