"Title" Tutorial Summary : |
This tutorial specifically describes the concepts of infinite sequences and series. Examples are presented to with the basic operations and properties of infinite sequences. Applying some type of theorem to find the limit is important when dealing with sequences.
The properties of sequences with applications to approximation of limits are shown in the examples. The uniqueness and convergence of sequences need to be discussed before the concept of subsequences is defined. Sequences need to be bounded and monotonic so they can be classified as convergent sequences. Special sequences such as Cauchy sequences are also mentioned in this tutorial.
