Sequences(数列) Definition: A sequence is a group of numbers ordered in a specified way. Symbols and terms: T(1), T(2), T(3), ... , T(n), .... 1st term, 2nd term, 3rd term ...... ,nth term (第 n 项) General Term(通项) (B) Series(级数) Definition: A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence in the following way. T(1) + T(2) + T(3) + .... + T(n) + ... The sum of the first n terms is denoted by S(n) = T(1) + T(2) + ... + T(n) (C) Arithmetic Sequences(等差数列) (I)Definition: If a sequence is in the form +d +d +d +d +d ................ T(1), T(2), T(3), ............... ............., T(n), ...., a, a + d, a +2d, .............. .............,a + ( ? )d,..., then it is called an Arithmetic Sequence, where a is the First term(首项) and d is the Common Difference(公差). Note: Arithmetic Sequence is also called Arithmetic Progression(A.P.). .........................(1) .........................(1) T(n) = a + (n ?1)d (nth term / General term) (II)Arithmetic Series(等差级数) Sum of the first n terms(n 项和) : S(n) = T(1) + T(2) + T(3) + ... + T(n) = a + (a + d) + (a +2d) + ... +[a + (n ?1)d] .........................(2).........................(3) .........................(2) .........................(3) (Sum to n terms) where a is the First term and d is the Common Difference. (III)Arithmetic Means(等差中项) If a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 are in Arithmetic Sequence, then a2, a3, a4 are the Arithmetic Means between a1 and a5. 插入等差中项
