The document discusses the historical development of mathematical concepts related to sequences and series, highlighting contributions from notable mathematicians such as Mahavira, Bhaskara, and Leonardo Fibonacci. It mentions the classification of series in the 17th century and the introduction of the term 'infinite series' by James Gregory. The evolution of these concepts was facilitated by advancements in algebraic and set theoretic tools.

150 MATHEMATICS

(598), Mahavira (850) and Bhaskara (1114-1185) also considered the sum of squares
and cubes. Another specific type of sequence having important applications in
mathematics, called Fibonacci sequence, was discovered by Italian mathematician
Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1250). Seventeenth century witnessed the classification
of series into specific forms. In 1671 James Gregory used the term infinite series in
connection with infinite sequence. It was only through the rigorous development of
algebraic and set theoretic tools that the concepts related to sequence and series
could be formulated suitably.
