thumb|A part of an infinite sequence of real numbers (in blue), indexed by a natural number . This sequence is neither increasing, decreasing, convergent, nor Cauchy. It is, however, bounded (by red dashed lines). In mathematics, a sequence is a collection of objects possibly with repetition, that come in a specified order. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). Unlike a set, the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in a sequence, and unlike a set, the order does matter. The notion of a sequence can be generalized to an indexed family, defin

The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the same element more than once, until no unmarked elements are left; if the counte

In a positional numeral system, the radix (radices) or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent numbers. For example, for the decimal system (the most common system in use today) the radix is ten, because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9.

In mathematics, a subsequence of a given sequence is a sequence that can be derived from the given sequence by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, the sequence \langle A,B,D \rangle is a subsequence of \langle A,B,C,D,E,F \rangle obtained after removal of elements C, E, and F. The relation of one sequence being the subsequence of another is a partial order.

thumb|300px|Graph y=f(x) with the x-axis as the horizontal axis and the y-axis as the vertical axis. The y-intercept of f(x) is indicated by the red dot at (x=0, y=1). In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system.
