Wolfram Math World: Recursive Sequence

Consider recursive sequences with your class. They solve 10 different problems that include various recursive formula sequences. First, they write a recursive formula for the sequence shown, then determine the first 4 terms of the...

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

A definition of recursive function, and the relation of recursive function to recursion. There is also an example defining f(x,y) as the function xy.

Finding patterns—seems easy enough. High schoolers learn the definition of a sequence in a concept video. Four problem videos then cover finding a particular term of a sequence given an explicit formula and identifying arithmetic...

MathWorld provides a huge mathematics encyclopedia detailing the concepts of geometry, algebra, calculus, discrete math, number theory, and other math topics--complete with formulas, diagrams, examples, and references for thorough...

This webpage thoroughly discusses the math of spheres. Includes the equation for a sphere in Cartesian and spherical coordinates as well as parametrically. Surface Area, volume, and curvature are addressed at this extensive site.

Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions. Studying sequences gives scholars an opportunity to use a new notation. Learners write functions to model arithmetic and geometric sequences and use them to find new...

Perform the operation ... and then do it again. Scholars investigate recursive formulas by creating and graphing them. Using the interactive, pupils set the variable, determine the initial value, and type in a recursive formula.The...

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

This math site gives the formula for taking the dot product of two vectors, gives properties of dot products, (commutative, associative, and distributive), how to find the derivative of a dot product. This site has links to several other...
