Sequences and Series is all about patterns. Although we are concentrating on mathematical patterns and formulae in this chapter, patterns can be found throughout all disciplines and subject areas. One of the most famous sequences is Fibonacci’s Numbers. The sequences occurs in the natural sciences repeatedly.

Another amazing pattern that is relatively new to the math scene is called a Fractal. To see some cool Fractal art and to make some of your own, check out Fun with Fractals.
