Sequence and Series

This topic area is used extensively in science, planning and design, where prediction is required

Over the next three weeks we shall be answering the questions:
 *  What is a sequence?
 *  How do we make an arithmetic sequence?
 *  How can we generate a sequence recursively using a graphics calculator?
 *  What is the rule used to find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
 *  What is the rule for the sum of n terms in an arithmetic sequence?
 *  How is a geometric sequence different from an arithmetic sequence?
 *  What is the rule for the nth term of a geometric sequence?
 *  What is the rule for finding the sum of n terms in a geometric sequence?
 *  When does the sum of the terms of a geometric sequence increase but never exceed a limiting value?
 *  How does a difference equation help us to generate the terms of a sequence recursively?
