Sequence Application

The Sequence application provides you with the tools you need to work with explicit sequences and recursive type sequences. Starting up the Sequence application displays two windows.

1 Sequence Editor windowUse this window to input expressions for creating a sequence table.2 Table windowUse this window to create and display table.

(a)Title: Shows the equation used in the calculations. The title is not displayed when an item in column n is selected.

(b)Column names
