We introduce the content in this textbook described in Preface in the follows:
In this short course, a part of Quick Review and Preview series, we offer the concise presentation of Sequence of Numbers in Recursive Forms. The subject is appropriate for those who have just learned polynomials and algebraic manipulations including powers; limited knowledge of trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, usually learned as a part of Precalculus may be needed to solve some problems, but in such a case, detailed explanations are provided, together with definitions of these functions, wherever appropriate.
It is preferable that students acquire such skills as finding the general terms and sums of sequence sufficiently before learning infinite series in 1-D Calculus. In some textbooks, however, these contents are just touched lightly only as arithmetic and geometric sequence. Taking advantage of e-textbook format in a size as one of the ‘Mono-Subject’ series, we present this subject as Sequence in Recursive Forms in a systematic way, bringing a clear viewpoint of the subject — with a variety of methods how to obtain the general term. As in other titles, this presentation is made as concise as possible so that the contents will be assimilated easily and quickly in a very short period.
As in another textbook in the series, we describe the summary together with typical illustrated problems at first. Afterwards, you will make practice by engaging in solving problems in the following exercise sections. Those exercise sections will be divided according to the level of difficulty or whether they contain combined concepts. At first attempt, you may concentrate on solving only Illustrated Examples, skipping Problem Set at the end of each section. After arriving at the end, restart all over again with solving Problem Set at the second attempt, thereby checking your understanding. By that time arriving at the end on the second time, you
