The Sequences

Sequences are ordered lists of numbers or items, arranged in a specific order according to a rule or pattern. Each item 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 (ending after a certain number of terms) or infinite (continuing indefinitely). They are fundamental in mathematics for understanding patterns, making predictions, and solving problems. Recognizing the rule behind a sequence helps identify the next items and explore the underlying structure connecting the terms.
