defined on the natural numbers
I would like to change this:
- "Formally, given any set X, an infinite sequence is a function (f, say) defined on a subset of natural numbers with values in X. "
to this:

Simple example?
This is given as a "simple example" of a sequence of complex numbers:
How about a simpler example, where it's easy to predict the next term? e.g.

- I wouldn't object any proposed changes, the formal definition above included (well I thought a while about this definition and I think there would be no harm if the term "subset" gets deleted). As for 0 in naturals, nothing is "globally" decided, so probably both solutions are possible (I'd start with 1).--AlekStos 11:55, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
