Algebra 2 – Recursion and Iteration, part 1 of 2

And now... let's create the rule that describes a sequence! (crickets.) It doesn't have to be that way, because listing out terms based on a rule can be decoded in a way that makes total sense. The key to this whole maze is understanding in real terms what A(n), A(n+1) and A(n-1) actually mean. Once you do, these sequences and series will be yours for life. YAY MATH!

Excellent video. As a retired math teacher (50 + years) I am thrilled that young people like yourself have captured the new technology and are using it for good. Historically, great math teachers have been limited to a single classroom but videos, like yours, can expand to fill the world. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning even more math!

Thank God you were born, I have a test on this tomorrow!

Best explanation of sequences
I am relearning this on my own from a text book. So this video is helping me understand: "Finding a formula for the nth term; and finding a formula for a sequence."

You just earned me a completed h.w assignment. Thanks a bunch !!!

Just started though passed the age of schooling, however, love the video tutorial and am impressed with the presentation. Trying to term to help my high school age children who are having difficulty with maths.

Yaymath, I wish I could hire you as a tutor. So lost with my class.

A genius teacher and honestly im still trying to get into algebra

I watched this video and actual understood it but then realized I was learning about recursive formulas not recursion so that’s great

How do you solve the area of your hand mathematically? My prof talked about iteration

I dizzy 😅
Not a math person. Never good at it. But, love how you teaching it

I've got a question. What if in the problem, they've asked us if a particular term is part of that sequence. How would that be solved?

Say there's a sequence that goes like this... 6, 11, 16, 21.... the question asks us if 102 is part of this sequence. How do we get it? I think I'm a bit confused here. Can someone help me pls?
