In mathematics, a sequence is a collection of objects possibly with repetition, that come in a specified order. Like a set, it contains members. Unlike a set, the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in a sequence, and unlike a set, the order does matter. The notion of a sequence can be generalized to an indexed family, defined as a function from an arbitrary index set.
