The first can easily be translated to:

x0 = 1
dx = 3
T = the set of iterations
y = |T| = the cardinality of set T

then: x = x0 + dx*|T|


How does that step follow from what is given?

It seems to me that they are clearly equal, but I don't know of any
mathematical manuever that says they are.

It looks like we're just doing pattern matching.

Could you write an algorithm that does the same derivation?

Pattern matching can be performed by algorithm.


Ok then. You got me beat. Your math must not be a limitating factor in
science and my computer programs would be a waste of your time.
