Algebra for Aptitude Exams: Sequences, Series, and Functions

Success in competitive aptitude exams like the CAT requires a rock-solid grasp of algebraic structures, particularly how mathematical patterns behave and how functions map inputs to outputs. Many candidates struggle because they try to memorize formulas instead of understanding the underlying relationships. This text-based course guides you from foundational definitions to advanced algebraic problem-solving, helping you decode complex sequences, sum various types of series, and analyze functions with confidence. What you'll learn: - Understand the core terminology and mathematical foundations of sequences, series, and functions. - Master Arithmetic, Geometric, and Harmonic Progressions along with their practical applications. - Apply systematic methods to find the sum of special, infinite, and miscellaneous series. - Analyze functions, including domain, range, composite functions, and inverse functions. - Solve complex algebraic equations using structured pattern-recognition techniques. - Practice exam-style quantitative problems through step-by-step written walkthroughs. The course begins with essential definitions and progression types before moving into advanced summation techniques and functional equations. You will progress systematically through written explanations and clear mathematical breakdowns designed to build intuitive problem-solving skills. This course is designed for beginners preparing for competitive aptitude tests, as well as anyone looking to rebuild their algebra foundation from the ground up.
