SEQUENCE
AND
SERIES
A sequence is a set of numbers
arranged in a specific order
according to a rule, while a
series is the sum of the terms
in a sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a
sequence of numbers in which
the difference between
consecutive terms is constant.
This difference is called the
common difference.

A harmonic sequence is
formed by taking the
reciprocals of the terms of an
arithmetic sequence. It is not
an arithmetic or geometric
sequence itself, but it has
applications in physics and
engineering.

The Fibonacci sequence is a
special sequence in which
each term (after the first two)
is the sum of the two
preceding terms.

𝐹6 = 𝐹5 + 𝐹4
It means that the 6th term is the sum of the 5th and 4th
terms.
