This chapter is an introduction to sequences and series, which are normally covered in calculus pretty early on. To this point, we have consciously tried to avoid them, in order to maintain our intuitive, geometrical approach. However, now that we have a lot of background, we can use the concept of a sequence or series (and a few more 3D printed models) to tie up a lot of the ideas in our previous chapters.
You can think of this chapter as the part under the hood of a lot of the workings and derivations of calculus. If you are taking a traditional class, you probably started with this topic.
