difference between sequence and series
A sequence is simply an ordered list of numbers or terms. A series is the sum of a sequence. A sequence is an ordered list of numbers or terms. It can contain elements, numbers and terms and can be a limited set or an infinite set. Unlike in a set, order in a sequence has grave importance. It is known as a discrete function. For example [1, 2, 3, 4â¦] is a sequence or progression (in the UK). There are two types of sequence an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between two consecutive terms remains constant, known as common difference.
