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.

Effect of Resistance to flow and wall shear stress on axially symmetric artery for Non-Newtonian fluid Model of blood flow through a stenosis
An effort has been made to explore the nonNewtonian behaviour on blood flow through a stenosed artery with Power-law fluid model. Numerical illustration presented at the end of the paper provides the consequences...
Single Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem
— Job shop scheduling belongs to the class of NPhard problems. There are a number of algorithms in literature for finding near optimal solution for the job shop scheduling problem. Many of these algorithms e...
A Study on the Perceptions and Attitudes of Manufacturing Engineering Technology Student’s about Student-Centred Learning
Student-Centred Learning (SCL) is a method of teaching that puts student at the center of the learning process. The implementation of SCL requires a shift in focus from the lecturer to the student. This method of teachin...
