The Sequence

A sequence is a list of items arranged in a specific order, often following a pattern or rule. Think of it as a series of numbers or objects where each one has a particular position and relationship to the others. For example, in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, each number increases by 2. Sequences help us organize and predict future items based on the pattern. They are fundamental in mathematics and science, used to analyze trends, solve problems, and understand the structure underlying various systems.
