Sequences
Sequences are collection of numbers or objects
that is ordered by the positive integers.
Notation: (known as the
terms of the sequence).naaaaa ,, , , , 4321

Describing the nth term of a sequence
Involves writing a formula describing the pattern
the sequence of numbers follows.

Convergence of Sequences
Sequences whose behavior approaches a limiting
value are said to converge to this value

Definition
A sequence has the limit L and we write
which is read approaches L as n approaches
if we can make the terms as close to L as we
like by taking n sufficiently large. If exists,
then the sequence is convergent. Otherwise, it is
divergent.
