About Arithmetic Progression – AP

• a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, . . . is called the general form of an AP, where a is the first term and d the common difference. If there are a finite number of terms in the AP, then it is called a finite AP.
• The general formula for finding nth term is given by a + (n-1)d and the sum of n terms is given by n/2[2a + (n-1)d]. The last term is denoted by l and given by a + (n-1)d.

Historical Facts!

1. Leonardo Pisano Bigollo also known as Leonardo of Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician. He gave Fibonacci series on the basis of, how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Fibonacci Series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 … Here, every next term is sum of previous two terms.

2. Once, when famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777 – 1855) misbehaved in primary school, his teacher I.G. Buttner gave him a task to add a list of integers from 1 to 100. Gauss’s method was to realise that pairwise addition of terms from opposite ends of the list yielded identical intermediate sum: 1 + 100 = 2 + 99 = 3 + 98 = … = 50 + 51 = 101. So, here 1 + 2+ 3 + 4 + …. + 100 = the sum of 50 sums each equal to 101. Therefore, the sum is 5050. Finally he gave the answer in seconds.
