Sequences and Series Playlist for Algebra 2

A sequence is basically a list of numbers. Sigh.... yay, math. In other words, try not to feel intimidated by them. Yes, there are formulas for arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, as well as arithmetic and geometric series and sums. Then we get into the heavy stuff, like recursion and iteration, the binomial theorem, and proof by mathematical induction. Once we realize that those formulas just help us understand lists a little better, then they become less confusing. So in the end, it's still YAY MATH!
