  1. 9.1 Sequences and Series Recursive Sequence Factorial Notation Summation Notation

  2. Definition of a Sequence The values of a function whose domain is positive set of integers. f(1), f(2), f(3), f(4),…f(n)....called terms written as a1, a2, a3, a4, …, an, … This is an infinite sequence since it does not end. If the sequence has a final term, it is called a finite sequence.

  3. Find the first 4 terms of the sequence an = 2n + 1 n = 1 a1 = 2(1) + 1 = 3 n = 2 a2= 2(2) + 1 = 5 n = 3 a3 = 2(3) + 1 = 7 n = 4 a4 = 2(4) + 1 = 9 3, 5, 7, 9

  4. Find the first 4 terms of the sequence n = 1 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4

  5. Recursive Sequence A sequence where each term of the sequence is defined as a function of the preceding terms. Example: an = an -2 + an-1 : a1= 1, a2 = 1 a3 = 1 + 1 = 2 a4 = 1 + 2 = 3 a5 = 2 + 3 = 5 1,1, 2, 3, 5, …….

  6. The Fibonacci Sequence is a Recursive Sequence In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence: By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.

  7. Why are they called Fibonacci Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (c. 1170 – c. 1250) also known as Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci, or, most commonly, simply Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician, considered by some "the most talented western mathematician of the Middle Ages." Fibonacci is best known to the modern world for the spreading of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in Europe,

  8. Definition of Factorial Notation If n is a positive integer, n factorial is 0! = 1
