This MathWorld page provides links to various specific types of mathematical sequences and related links. This is a great resource if you are looking for very specific information.

This MathWorld site, an online training tool, provides a definition and an example of a geometric sequence and how it operates. Other math-related topics available.

Given the formula of an arithmetic sequence, either in explicit form or in recursive form, find a specific term in the sequence.

Students explore an interactive tutorial on nonlinear sequences and then practice their knowledge by attempting ten questions that increase in difficulty level.

Students learn about geometric and telescoping series and the relationship between the sequence of partial sums of a series and its sum. They then use the CAS of their TI-89 and calculus to determine the sum of these series.

In this Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity, students explore the Taylor's series. They investigate the approximation of numbers in sequences and series and find their interval of convergence using various methods.
