n Min is the smallest n value to evaluate. n Min also is
displayed in the sequence
Y=
editor. n Max is the largest n
value to evaluate. Sequences are evaluated at u( n Min),
u( n Min+1), u( n Min+2) , . . . , u( n Max).
PlotStart is the first term to be plotted. PlotStart=1 begins
plotting on the first term in the sequence. If you want
plotting to begin with the fifth term in a sequence, for
example, set
PlotStart=5. The first four terms are evaluated
but are not plotted on the graph.
PlotStep is the incremental n value for graphing only.
PlotStep does not affect sequence evaluation; it only
designates which points are plotted on the graph. If you
specify
PlotStep=2, the sequence is evaluated at each
consecutive integer, but it is plotted on the graph only at
every other integer.
