Sequences

At a fundamental level, a sequence is an ordered list of objects or elements. Unlike a mathematical set, the order of elements in a sequence matters, and the same element can appear multiple times. Think of the page numbers in a book or the house numbers on a street; these are everyday examples of sequences. Sequences can be finite, meaning they have a specific number of terms, or they can be infinite, continuing indefinitely. This concept, though seemingly simple, forms a cornerstone of many areas within mathematics and has far-reaching applications in various fields.
