Maths Project: Sequence and Series

This document is a math project on sequences and series. It introduces arithmetic and geometric sequences, and how to find the next term by adding (for arithmetic) or multiplying (for geometric). It also discusses finding the sum of finite and infinite arithmetic and geometric series using formulas. Various examples of sequences and series are provided to demonstrate these concepts. Sigma notation for writing sums is also introduced.
