Sequence and Series We have heard about sequence and Series. But before diving deep into Sequence and Series, let us understand what is a sequence and what is a series? There are cases where even a small discrepancy in measurements can lead to a big trouble. In all other cases, measuring something is made easier by approximations. And as mathematicians, we like to do that a lot! To measure a quantity x, let us write several approximations a1 , a2 , a3… where a2 is a better approximation of x than a1,a3 is better approximation of x than a2 and so on. This list of approximations that we just created is example of a sequence. Definition 1: A sequence is the set of the outputs of a function defined from the set of natural numbers to the set of real numbers or complex numbers. If the co-domain of the function is the set of real numbers, it is called a real sequence and if it is the set of complex numbers on the other hand, it is called a complex sequence. In very simple terms, a ...
