In mathematics, the term normal sequence has multiple meanings, depending on the area of specialty. In general, it is a sequence with "nice" properties.
- In set theory, a normal sequence is one that is continuous and strictly increasing.
- In probability theory, normal sequence may be used synonymously with normal number.
Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or sequence:
“In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
