12. Arithmetic Sequence In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (A.P.) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant. For instance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... is an arithmetic progression or sequence with common difference 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

13. Geometric Sequence In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54,... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25,... is a geometric sequence with common ratio 1/2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

14. Series - A summation of the terms in a sequence (of numbers)
