Chapter 1: Basic Structures
- Covers fundamental aspects of discrete mathematics: sets, functions, sequences, summations, and matrices.
Sequences: Definition
- Finite Sequence: Has a definite last number (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14).
- Infinite Sequence: Continues indefinitely without a last number, denoted by ellipsis (e.g., 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, …).
Sequence Types
- Geometric Progression: Each term is multiplied by a constant (common ratio). Example: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, where the common ratio ( r = 2 ).
- Arithmetic Progression: Each term is added by a constant (common difference). Example: 11, 7, 3, -1, -5, -9, with a common difference of -4.
Strings
- Used to represent sequences of characters in discrete mathematics.
Recurrence Relation
- A relation that defines the terms of a sequence using previous terms, commonly used in Fibonacci sequences.
Exercises: Sequences
- Evaluating functions for sequences, e.g., ( f(n) = 5n ) produces a finite sequence ( f = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) ) and ordered pairs ( (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15), (4, 20), (5, 25) ).

Arithmetic Sequence Example
- Given first element 14 and second element 9, the 20th element ( a_{20} ) is calculated using the common difference ( d = -5 ) resulting in ( a_{20} = -81 ).
Summations
- Represents the total of a series of numbers and can be expressed in sigma notation.
- Example forms:
- Summation of even numbers: ( \sum_{j=1}^{6} 2j )
- Summation of odd numbers: ( \sum_{j=1}^{5} (2j - 1) )
