 | | In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) which have been arranged in a linear fashion; such that each member comes either before, or after, every other member, and the order of members is important. |
 | | Sequences can be finite, as in the example just given, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers (2,4,6,...). |
 | | The elements in a sequence are also called terms, and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. |
