Though goals generally control objectives, objectives can also control goals as they unfold. For example, since a goal is general in nature, it may be refined and altered as objectives are completed. The completion of an objective or a series of them, could cause you to either raise or lower the ultimate goal.
For other uses, see Sequence (disambiguation). In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence.
Terms. Arithmetic Sequence-A sequence in which each term is a constant amount greater or less than the previous term. In this type of sequence, a n+1 = a n + d, where d is a constant. Common Ratio-In a geometric sequence, the ratio r between each term and the previous term. sequence is typically defined recursively by giving the first term, and the formula for any term a n+1 after the first term. Sequence-A function which is defined for the positive integers. Series-A sequence in which the terms are summed, not just listed. Summation Notation-a n = a 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + ...
