aₙ = a₁ + (n−1)d; Sₙ = n/2 · [2a₁ + (n−1)d]; Partial sums S(m..n) = Sₙ − S₍ₘ₋₁₎.
aₙ = a₁ · r^(n−1); Sₙ = a₁ (1 − r^n)/(1 − r) for r≠1; if r=1 then Sₙ = n·a₁.
Infinite sum S∞ = a₁/(1 − r) when |r| < 1.
If second difference is constant, t(n) = a n² + b n + c. Fit using first three terms: a = (t3 − 2 t2 + t1)/2, b = (t2 − t1) − 3a, c = t1 − a − b.
Sum: Sₙ = a n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 + b n(n+1)/2 + c n.
Arithmetic, geometric, quadratic, or use detection.
Generate terms, nth term, sums, parameters, position from value, or infinite sum (geometric).
Supply a₁ and a₂ (to infer d or r), or first three terms for quadratic; enter indices as needed.
See authentic formulas and step-by-step derivations.
Arithmetic grows linearly with n; geometric grows or decays exponentially with ratio r.
Geometric S∞ converges only if |r|<1; otherwise the series diverges.
Constant second differences characterize quadratic sequences; sums are cubic in n.

Important: This sequence and series calculator is designed for educational, mathematical analysis, and problem-solving purposes using established algebraic formulas for arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, and quadratic patterns. While calculations employ standard mathematical algorithms and closed-form formulas with appropriate rounding for display purposes, the tool is intended for learning and verification rather than advanced mathematical research. For academic submissions, professional mathematical work, or research applications requiring high precision, verify results using multiple methods and consult mathematical references. The calculator handles standard sequence types but may not account for specialized mathematical contexts or advanced series convergence considerations that could be relevant for higher-level mathematical analysis.
