Sequences make interesting graphs! I often find that using mathematics to look at data in graphical form helps me to better understand the data and what it represents. Of course, you need to learn how to set the mode and window and enter a sequence in your calculator before you can have the fun of graphing a sequence. If you want to challenge yourself to learn something new, read about graphing a web plot or a phase plot (the graphs really look cool).

Changing the Mode

You can’t begin graphing sequences until you ...
