A series is a sequence of numbers that follows an identifiable pattern.

There are two basic forms of series:

Arithmetic, where the difference between successive terms is the same number.

1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21 is an arithmetic series, each successive term is 3 larger than the previous term

Geometric, were successive terms are achieved by multiplying each term by the same number

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 is a geometric series, each successive term is the result of multiplying the previous term by 2
