OEIS A000175: Zeros of Bessel Functions and the Rayleigh Polynomials

In this Deep Dive, we unpack OEIS A000175—the sequence of constant terms in the Rayleigh polynomials, which arise from the power-series of spherical Bessel functions. We trace how the zeros of Bessel functions of half-integer order connect to these constants, why the indexing starts at n = 3, and the historical note that it was once M200790. Join us for a compact tour of how a small integer sequence bridges differential equations, physics, and the language of the OEIS.
