    Kann bitte jemand erklären, was der Unterschied zwischen einer "arithmetic sequence" und einer "geometric sequence" ist?
    Herzlichen Dank!

    The two simplest sequences to work with are arithmetic and geometric sequences. An arithmetic sequence goes from one term to the next by always adding (or subtracting) the same value. For instance, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,... and 7, 3, –1, –5,... are arithmetic, since you add 3 and subtract 4, respectively, at each step. A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by always multiplying (or dividing) by the same value. So 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,... and 81, 27, 9, 3, 1, 1/3,... are geometric, since you multiply by 2 and divide by 3, respectively, at each step.

    Unterschied erklären? Sicher. Der Unterschied ist:

    Das eine wird als "arithmetische Folge" und das andere wird als "geometrische Folge" übersetzt.

    :-)
