SEQUENCE AND

SERIES
Mathematical Rhythms that turn patterns into
predictable paths, revealing order within chaos
Sequences and Series
• Sequence : A list of numbers or objects in a special order.
Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, ... is a sequence starting at 3 and
increasing by 2 each time.
• Series : When you add the values in a sequence together,
that sum is called a series. We have both finite and infinite
series.
Example: 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + ... is a series.
Finite and Infinite Sequences
• Finite sequence :
a = a1, a2, a3, . . ., an
It is series of n number of terms.
• Infinite sequence :
a = a1, a2, a3, . . ., an, . . . ∞
It is series of infinite number of terms.
Sequences and Series
• Factorial Notation :
If n is a positive number, n factorial is defined as

n ! = 1⋅2⋅3⋅⋅⋅(n−1)⋅n

(with 0 !=1)
For example, 4 !=4⋅3⋅2⋅1=24
Sequences and Series
• Summation Notation :
The sum of the first n terms of a sequence is written as
Arithmetic Progression
• Arithmetic Sequences :
• A sequence is arithmetic if the difference between consecutive
terms is constant.
a2−a1 = a3−a2 = a4−a3 = ... = b - aN = d
d is the common difference of the series.
The sequence a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 are said to be in A.P.
• Here, a1 is the 1st term and b is nth term. Therefore,
• b = a1 + d[(n + 2) – 1] = a1 + d (n + 1).
SUM to nth Terms of an AP
• Sum of nth term:

Sn = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d]

where n = number of terms,


a = first term and
d = common difference
Geometric Progression
• Geometric Sequences :
• A sequence is geometric if the ratio of consecutive terms is constant.

r is the common ratio of the series.


The sequence a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 are said to be in G.P..
• The nth term of a geometric progression is given by
an = arn-1
SUM of nth Terms of a GP
• Sum of first n terms of G.P :

• Sum of infinite G.P :
