Sequences and Series

?
Arithmetic sequence
Adding a fixed amount to the previous term
1 of 14
Geometric sequence
Multiply the previous number by a fixed number
2 of 14
Periodic sequence
Repeats itself at regular intervals
3 of 14
Oscillating sequence
Terms lie above and below a middle number
4 of 14
Sequence
Set of numbers in a given order. Maybe forming an algebraic pattern
5 of 14
Term
Each number in the sequence
6 of 14
Series
When the terms are added together
7 of 14
Sigma (E symbol)
Sum of... (series)
8 of 14
Sequences defined deductively
Direct formula for the Kth term of the series in terms of K (substitute numbers in)
9 of 14
Sequences defined inductively
How to find a sequence from a previous term (must include first term)
10 of 14
Iterative sequence (Fibonacci)
Add the two previous terms to get the next term (e.g. 0,1,1,2,3,5,8)
11 of 14
Convergent
Getting closer to a particular value
12 of 14
Divergent
Tend to infinity or negative infinity
13 of 14
