Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction to Sequences

  • A sequence is an ordered collection of numbers following a specific pattern
  • Terms are denoted as a₁, a₂, a₃, ..., aₙ where subscripts indicate position
  • The nth term (aₙ) is called the general term of the sequence
2

Series

  • A series is the sum of terms of a sequence: a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + ... + aₙ
  • Series can be finite (limited terms) or infinite (unlimited terms)
  • Sigma notation (Σ) is used to represent series in compact form
3

Geometric Progression (G.P.)

  • In G.P., each term (except first) bears constant ratio to preceding term
  • Common ratio r = aₙ₊₁/aₙ (constant for all n)
  • General form: a, ar, ar², ar³, ..., arⁿ⁻¹
4

Geometric Mean (G.M.)

  • Geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is √(ab)
  • G.M. creates a G.P. when inserted between two numbers
  • Multiple geometric means can be inserted between two numbers
