Overview:

Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. This concept forms the basis for many mathematical problems involving patterns, sums, and sequences. This chapter explains how to identify, analyze, and work with APs using formulas and practical examples.
