Series – the sum of the series. Has a set number

Arithmetic Series

Sequence – from Latin word sequi meaning “to follow”
Progression – from Latin word progredi meaning “to go forward”
Arithmetic Sequence = Arithmetic Progression adding the same constant to the succeeding term 1,3,5,7 (common difference)
Arithmetic Series – adding up a arithmetic sequence
Geometric Sequence = Geometric Progression multiplying succeeding number by a constant ratio/factor 2,6, 18
Geometric Series – adding up a geometric sequence
