In a sense, the computer and the Collatz conjecture are a perfect match. First, as Jeremy Avigad, a logician and professor of philosophy at Carnegie Mellon, points out, the concept of an iterative algorithm is at the heart of computer science, and Collatz sequences are an example of an iterative algorithm and step-by-step accordingly.
