Help with math

[Adam Y.]

I hope you aren't talking about the whole subject of series and sequences that could take a while though I can help you on a specific topic. Sequences are essentially an infinite listing. A sequence of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11...... is essentially the sequence of {n}_n=1^infinity A series is a summation of sequence. If you have a calculus textbook handy you will notice that the text book uses the summation (sigma) character to represent a series. So I'll show you a series. 1,1+2,1+2+3,1+2+3+4,1+2+3+4+5,1+2+3+4+5+6, and so on, and so on. This is essentially a series of n. This is the basic introduction. After you learn about series and sequences, you are probably going to learn whether or not a if a particular series/sequence actually diverges or converges but that is really starting to go overboard with information. If you need help on a particular part of calculus two just ask. I happen to be taking the same course. And as always wikipedia describes everything on sequences and series in a detailed manor.
