A sequence is an ordered list of terms. Sequences may be either finite or infinite.

Definition
A sequence of real numbers is simply a function . For instance, the function
defined on
corresponds to the sequence
.
Convergence
Intuitively, a sequence converges if its terms approach a particular number.
Formally, a sequence of reals converges to
if and only if for all positive reals
, there exists a positive integer
such that for all integers
, we have
.
If converges to
,
is called the limit of
and is written
.
