Key Concepts

Term

A term is an individual element within a sequence. Each term occupies a specific position in the order defined by the sequence, and its value is determined by the underlying rule or pattern of the sequence.

Index

An index is a number or marker that identifies the position of a term in a sequence. It enables referencing and distinguishing one term from another and is critical for understanding the order and structure of the sequence.

Sequence

A sequence is an ordered list of objects, numbers, or elements arranged according to a specific rule or pattern. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics that helps in understanding patterns, series, and functions, among other topics.
