Introduction to Sequences
A mathematical sequence is an ordered list of objects, often numbers. Sometimes the numbers in a sequence are defined in terms of a previous number in the list.
The General Term of a Sequence
Given terms in a sequence, it is often possible to find a formula for the general term of the sequence, if the formula is a polynomial.
Series and Sigma Notation
