Mathematical sequences

Mathematical sequences are ordered lists of numbers arranged following a specific rule or pattern. Each number in the sequence is called a term. For example, in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, each term increases by 2. Sequences can be finite or infinite and are fundamental in understanding patterns and relationships in mathematics. They help describe growth, repetitions, and structures in various fields, from nature to computer science. Recognizing the pattern allows predicting future terms and understanding the underlying rule governing the sequence.
