An important task of mathematics is to discover and
characterize regular patterns, such as those
associated with repeated processes.
processes is the sequence.
about patterns in sequences is mathematical
induction.

shows how the values of a (^) k depend on k.

Let m and n be integers such that m ≤ n.
Then
We call k index of the summation; m the lower limit of the summation; n the upper limit of the summation.
Ex.: Suppose a 3 =2, a 4 =-4, a 5 =0, a 6 =7. Then

Recall that
if a = pk · 2k^ + pk-1 · 2k-1^ + … + p 1 · 2^1 + p 0 · 2^0 then a 10 = (pk pk-1 … p 1 p 0 ) 2 , where p 0 , p 1 , …, pk-1 , pk is a sequence of binary digits 0 and 1.
Question: How to find p 0 , p 1 , …, pk-1 , pk?
