* Terms like "Quadratic Curves embodied within numeric sentences such as Fibonacci Sequences, Non-Evenly Divisible Values including PI, Catalan Numbers, Mersenne Primes" set off my crank mathematics alarms pretty badly.
* ACA doesn't seem to have a section for presenting abstracts. Possibly they meant a poster? It can't be a full paper, because acceptance notification for that isn't until July 13th, 2016 (http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/ACA2016/images/poster.pd...)
