%e Let u = 2^(1/3), and let p(n,x) be the minimal polynomial of the number given by the n-th continued fraction:

%e [u,1,1,1,...] has p(0,x) = -5 - 15 x - 6 x^2 - 9 x^3 + 3 x^5 + x^6, so that a(0) = -15.

%e [1,u,1,1,1,...] has p(1,x) = -11 + 45 x - 66 x^2 + 35 x^3 + 6 x^4 - 15 x^5 + 5 x^6, so that a(1) = 45;
