Sequence — For other uses, see Sequence (disambiguation). In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events). Like a set, it contains members (also called elements or terms), and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length … Wikipedia
Free abelian group — In abstract algebra, a free abelian group is an abelian group that has a basis in the sense that every element of the group can be written in one and only one way as a finite linear combination of elements of the basis, with integer coefficients … Wikipedia

Proof that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges — In the third century BC, Euclid proved the existence of infinitely many prime numbers. In the 18th century, Leonhard Euler proved a stronger statement: the sum of the reciprocals of all prime numbers diverges. Here, we present a number of proofs… … Wikipedia
Divergence of the sum of the reciprocals of the primes — The sum of the reciprocals of all prime numbers diverges, that is: This was proved by Leonhard Euler in 1737, and strengthens Euclid s 3rd century BC result that there are infinitely many prime numbers. There is a variety of proofs of Euler s… … Wikipedia
Aliquot sequence — In mathematics, an aliquot sequence is a recursive sequence in which each term is the sum of the proper divisors of the previous term. The aliquot sequence starting with a positive integer k can be defined formally in terms of the sum of divisors … Wikipedia
Steady-state free precession imaging — Steady state free precession (SSFP) imaging is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique which uses steady states of magnetizations. In general, SSFP MRI sequences are based on a (low flip angle) gradient echo MRI sequence with a short… … Wikipedia
