On Predicting the Next Term of a Sequence

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

When introducing sequences to students, the first skill we teach them is how to predict the next term of a sequence given the first few terms, usually the first three, four or five terms. In this note, we intend to show that given some terms of a sequence, the next term is not uniquely determined in most cases. We will also show under which condition can the next term be determined uniquely.
