The video tutorial introduces arithmetic sequences, explaining how each term is derived by adding a constant, known as the common difference, to the previous term. It covers the graphical representation of arithmetic progressions, showing how they form straight lines on an XY plane. The tutorial also explains how to derive the general term of an arithmetic progression and discusses various properties and operations that can be performed on these sequences. Finally, it demonstrates how to calculate the sum of terms in an arithmetic progression using Gauss's method.
