The video tutorial explains the sequence of squares, starting with basic square numbers like 0^2, 1^2, 2^2, and so on. It then explores the interesting property that arises when subtracting consecutive squares, resulting in a sequence of non-negative odd numbers. This sequence is expressed in the form 2n + 1, where n is a non-negative integer.
