Number sequences are sets of numbers that follow a pattern or a rule. Each number in a sequence is called a term. There are some special sequences that you should recognise. The most important of ...

When the logarithmic function is approximated by sequences of algebraic functions, similar questions can be posed as in the case of other similar problems. So, for example, it is interesting to ...

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 102, No. 3 (Mar., 1988), pp. 473-479 (7 pages) We present criteria for irrationality of limits of convergent sequences of rational numbers, ...

Each term in a sequence has a position. The first term is in position 1, the second term is in position 2 and so on. Position-to-terms rules use algebra to work out the term if the position in the ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Researchers have developed a novel algebraic model of DNA hybridization, a process central to most biotechnology devices that monitor changes in cell's gene expression or characterize a cell's genome.

DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences. This ...
