I am studying Calculus.
Does a sequence mean that it'd make a pattern?
I go with a big NO.
This could also be called a sequence—$\{1,4,5,1000,43\}$.

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

actually there is a big big difference between sequence and series............ 

this answers ur question

parthkohli · Answer

I believe that 'series' is the sum of a sequence.

parthkohli · Answer

Was I right in the question, anyway?

parthkohli · Answer

Well.. I was right!

parthkohli · Answer

I answered my own question using a little bit of intuition, heh.

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

Oh sorry didn't read the question correctly..........



A sequence is a number of elements placed together ...........

Sequences following specific patterns are called progressions...........

sum of numbers occuing in a sequence constitute the series....

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

so the set of numbers u gave (i would suggest u not to use set symbol) is a sequence and not a progression or a series.

parthkohli · Answer

Uh-huh. I was confused between the terms 'progression' and 'sequence'. 
I should say that 'Progression' is a subset of 'sequence' ;)
