Sequences, series, summability Definition
Sequence
Definition
Let be a set. A sequence in is a function , where . The value is the -th term of the sequence, with the notation . The notation for the sequence is , or when the index set is clear.
Remarks
Many texts start the index at , and they use a function on . The theory does not change. The terms of a sequence can repeat. For example, is the sequence with for even and for odd . A sequence of real numbers is a real sequence.
