Sequences and series
Arithmetic and geometric sequences, partial sums, and the geometric series formula.
An arithmetic sequence adds the same amount each step; a geometric one multiplies by the same ratio. Their sums have closed forms, n(a₁ + aₙ)/2 and a(rⁿ − 1)/(r − 1), and when |r| < 1 the geometric series keeps converging as n grows, which is the first infinite sum most people meet.

Kusonyeza yankho
Tsopano inu Sankhani vuto, kapena kulemba kapena kujambula wanu. Pakalipano, yankho limeneli lidzapezeka patsamba lino.
M’malo mwake, maakaunti aulere amawonjezera malemba pazophunzira zonse, mnda wa zomwe mwamaliza, mavuto anu omaliza m’malo limodzi, ndi m’bale amene mungafunse za nkhaniyo. Maphunziro a matekinoloje ndi otsegulira kwa aliyense, olembetsa kapena osalembetsa.

What is a function, really?
A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.
Why do we need complex numbers?
Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
