4. Develop ability for independent and collaborative work while communicating mathematically.
Modules
1. Unit One: Sequences and Series
1. 1. Sequences and Series
Learning Outcomes:
1. Identify the general concept of sequences and distinguish them from series.
2. Recognize the difference between finite and infinite sequences.
3. Identify arithmetic sequences and deduce their general (nth) term in various forms.
4. Determine the arithmetic mean of a given arithmetic sequence and insert a finite number of arithmetic means between two numbers.
5. Calculate the sum of a finite number of terms in an arithmetic series using different methods.
6. Identify geometric sequences and deduce their general term in different forms.
7. Determine the geometric mean between terms in a geometric sequence.
8. Insert a finite number of geometric means between two numbers.
9. Deduce the relationship between the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of two positive numbers.
10. Calculate the sum of a finite number of terms in a geometric series and extend this understanding to an infinite geometric series when applicable.
11. Apply the knowledge of arithmetic and geometric sequences to interpret real-life problems—for example, scenarios such as overpopulation.
12. Utilize technological tools (such as scientific calculators and computer programs) to perform operations related to sequences and series.
