Sequence

In summary, a number sequence is a list of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule. Studying number sequences helps scientists and mathematicians understand patterns and relationships between numbers, leading to discoveries and advancements in various fields. Some examples of number sequences are the Fibonacci sequence, prime numbers sequence, and geometric sequence. To find the next number in a sequence, one must identify the pattern or rule and apply it to the previous numbers. Number sequences have real-world applications in fields such as stock market prediction, computer algorithms, data analysis, cryptography, and coding theory.
