The presentation discusses sequences and their applications across various fields such as physics, biology, and computer science. It explains different types of sequences, including arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic progressions, along with their means and examples. The advantages of a structured approach to teaching sequences in a two-year curriculum are also highlighted.
The sequence andseries have important applications in Physics, Geography, Biology, Economics,
Psychology, Engineering, Chemistry, Computer science and Finance.
Introduction

Sequence
A sequence isan arrangement of any objects or a set of numbers in a particular
order followed by some rule. If a1, a2, a3, a4, ……… etc. Denote the terms of a
sequence, then 1,2,3,4, …
Sequence in ComputerScience
In Programming, sequence is the basic algorithm: A set of logical steps carried
out in order that commands are executed by a computer, allows us to carry out
tasks that have multiple steps.
Microprocessor also follow a sequence which is Fetch, Decode, and then Execute.

Arithmetic Progression
An ArithmeticProgression is a sequence in which every term is obtained by
adding some fix number to the preceding term. The fix number to preceding term.
The fix number is the common difference of two consecutive terms denoted by d.
Arithmetic Mean
Let aand b be two numbers, than a number A is set to be A.M between a and b if
a, A, b are in A.P
Thus A - a = b – A
2A =a +b
A = a+b/2
Geometric Progression
A sequencein which every term is obtained by multiplying or dividing a definite nu
mber with the preceding number is known as a geometric sequence.

Uses of Sequence
A sequence is a discrete structure used to represent an ordered list.
A sequence is a function from a subset of the set of integers (usually
either the set {0,1,2.. ..} Or {1,2, 3,...}To a set S.
We use the notation an to denote the image of the integer n.....
Notation to represent sequence is {an}

Advantages:
The common 2-yearsequence works well for many disciplines. Topics can be
introduced "just-in-time" for many disciplines. Since all students take the same
sequence, advising is relatively easy.
