Chapter+11+Notes

We are completing a brief overview of the materials in Chapter 11. This chapter covers the ideas of mathematical series and sequences. We will cover the items in 2 days. The first is for Arithmetic systems and the second will be for Geometric systems. The notes for this chapter (and most subsequent chapters) will be generated by PowerPoint presentation. If you do not have PowerPoint on your system you can try OpenOffice.org.

In this first lesson we define what is meant by the terms "Sequence," "Series," and "Term." Also, we look at arithmetic sequences and series and how to work with them.

In this second lesson we move on from the arithmetic systems and come to geometric sequences and series. These will work much like the exponential functions that we learned un Chapter 8.
