Explaining the bizarre pattern in making change for a googol dollars (infinite generating functions)

Okay, as it says in the title of this video, today's mission is to figure out how many ways there are to make change for one googol, that is 10^100 dollars. The very strange patterns in the answer will surprise, as will the explanation for this phenomenon, promise. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Chapter 1: curious count 9:05 Chapter 2: googol 14:10 Chapter 3: infinite change 28:41 Acknowledgements A very nice Mathematica file created by Andrew Neitsch in 2005 covers pretty much every aspect of change making mathematics. http://andrew.neitsch.ca/publications... Here is a pdf version of this file: https://andrew.neitsch.ca/publication... What I cover in the last part of this video is pretty much fleshing out and animating the section "Coin change revisited". All this is part of to Andrew's answer to a post on math.stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1... The visual algebra approach to calculate the number of ways to make change at the very beginning of this video was inspired by this article G. Pólya, On Picture-Writing, Am Math Monthly 63 (1956), 689-697. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2309555 Concrete mathematics by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik, the book I mentioned at the end of the video does the whole analysis for the coin set 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 (so no dollar coins). A complete list of all the different ways to make change for a dollar appears in this post https://www.maa.org/frank-morgans-mat... The book "Generatingfunctionology" by Herbert Wilf, is a great intro to generating functions :) https://www2.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/Dow... Ron Graham to who this video is dedicated did a couple of videos with Numberphile. So if you'd like to see him in action, check out those videos. A lot of other interesting articles about Ron Graham can be found on his wife's (also a math professor) website. http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~fan/ron/ As usual the music in the video is from the free YouTube audio library: No. 2 Remembering her by Ester Abrami, Morning Mandolin by Chris Haugen, First time experience and T'is the season by Nate Blaze Today's t-shirts: google "only half evil t-shirt".
