A series of math exercises for the final year of high school on numerical sequences.
This sheet involves the following concepts:
- definition of a sequence;
- sum of the terms of a sequence;
- convergence of a numerical sequence;
- asymptotic behavior of a sequence;
- study suite and functions;
- recurring suites.
