Though goals generally control objectives, objectives can also control goals as they unfold. For example, since a goal is general in nature, it may be refined and altered as objectives are completed. The completion of an objective or a series of them, could cause you to either raise or lower the ultimate goal.
For other uses, see Sequence (disambiguation). In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence.
Arithmetic Sequences and Sums Sequence. A Sequence is a set of things (usually numbers) that are in order. Each number in the sequence is called a term (or sometimes element or member), read Sequences and Series for more details. Arithmetic Sequence. In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant. In other words, we just add the same value each time ... infinitely. This sequence has a difference of 3 between each number.
