Mathematica Learn Arithmetic & Geometric Progression Formulas with Mathematica 5.0

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on generating arithmetic and geometric progressions using Mathematica 5.0. A user seeks guidance on formulas for these calculations, specifically mentioning the use of the Table function for both progressions. The response suggests that "Mathematica Navigator," an older edition that includes a CD with comprehensive content, could serve as a valuable reference for learning Mathematica 5.0. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring the CD is included and undamaged, as it contains numerous examples to aid in understanding the software. The newer edition of the Navigator is noted to be tailored for Mathematica 6, making the older version more relevant for the user's needs.

Table[a*r^n,{n,0,10}]
 
Thank you very much...any idea for formula reference for Mathematica 5.0?Thanks in advance,

An old edition of Mathematica Navigator would be a good reference for Mathematica 5. It includes a CD which is the entire contents of the book. Perhaps you could find this in a library or buy an old used copy. Make sure the CD is included and not damaged.

This has many examples and will help you get started with Mathematica in many ways.

The new edition is changed and only for Mathematica 6.
