  2. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, . . . is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2. If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is and the common difference of successive members is , then the -th term of the sequence is given by

  3. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics)

    An arithmetico-geometric series is a generalization of the geometric series, which has coefficients of the common ratio equal to the terms in an arithmetic sequence. Example: 3 + 5 2 + 7 4 + 9 8 + 11 16 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( 3 + 2 n ) 2 n . {\displaystyle 3+{5 \over 2}+{7 \over 4}+{9 \over 8}+{11 \over 16}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{(3+2n ...

  4. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively. A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying ...

  5. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression, which is defined by just two parameters: the initial term and the common ratio . Finite geometric series have a third parameter, the final term's power.

    is a divergent series. Sequences dn + a with odd d are often ignored because half the numbers are even and the other half is the same numbers as a sequence with 2d, if we start with n = 0. For example, 6n + 1 produces the same primes as 3n + 1, while 6n + 5 produces the same as 3n + 2 except for the only even prime 2. The following table lists ...

  7. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The parity sequence is the same as the sequence of operations. Using this form for f(n), it can be shown that the parity sequences for two numbers m and n will agree in the first k terms if and only if m and n are equivalent modulo 2 k. This implies that every number is uniquely identified by its parity sequence, and moreover that if there are ...

  8. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    v. t. e. In mathematics, an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the result of term-by-term multiplication of a geometric progression with the corresponding terms of an arithmetic progression. The n th term of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the product of the n th term of an arithmetic sequence and the n th term of a geometric sequence. [1]
