number sequences
Mathematical series arrangements
Number sequences are ordered lists of numbers that follow a pattern or rule.
The term appears most often in mathematics education, where students identify patterns: What comes next in the number sequence 2, 4, 8, 16?
Famous examples include the Fibonacci sequence and prime numbers.
In computing, number sequences may be generated algorithmically for testing or encryption.
