Terms in a sequence are numbered with subscripts: $~t_1, t_2, t_3, \cdots t_n`$ where $`t_n`$is the general or $`n^{th}`$ term.

## Aritmetic Sequences
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Basically, you add the **commmon difference** to the current term to get the next term. As such, it follows the following pattern:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d, \cdots`$. Where $`a`$ is the first term and $`d`$ is the **common difference**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As such, the general term of the aritmetic sequence is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`\large t_n = a + (n - 1)d`$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Geoemetric Sequences
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Basically, you multiply by the **common ratio** to the current term toget the next term. As such, it follows the following pattern:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, ar^4, c\dots`$. Where $`a`$ is the first term and $`r`$ is the **common ratio**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As such, the general term of the geometric sequence is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`\large t_n = a(r)^{n-1}`$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Aritmetic Series
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An arithmetic series is the sum of the aritmetic sequence's terms.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The formula to calculate is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`\large S_n = \dfrac{n(a_1 + a_n)}{2}`$ Or $`\large S_n = \dfrac{n(2a_1 + (n-1)d)}{2}`$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Geometric Series
|
||||||
|
- A geoemtric series is created by adding the terms of the geometric sequence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The formula to calulate the series is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`\large S_n= \dfrac{a(r^n- 1)}{r-1}`$ or $`\large S_n = \dfrac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}`$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Series and Sigma Notation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Its often convient to write summation of sequences using sigma notation. In greek, sigma means to sum.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
eg. $`S_ = u_1 + u_2 + u_3 + u_4 + \cdots + u_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n}u_i`$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$`\sum_{i=1}^{n}u_i`$ means to add all the terms of $`u_i`$ from $`i=1`$ to $`i=n`$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Programmers might refer to this as the `for` loop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```cpp
|
||||||
|
int sum=0;
|
||||||
|
for(int i=1; i<=N; i++) {
|
||||||
|
sum += u[i];
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
