(Please note that in LaTeX, one should use \langle and \rangle for angle brackets--not less than and greater than.)
The article is pretty good overall, but I find this an little odd. I don't think I've ever seen sequences denoted with angle brackets. You usually see those used for denoting an inner product. I've only ever seen sequences denoted with parentheses, like (a_n) = (a_1, a_2, ..., a_n).
It's kind of humorous to me that we can sort of fingerprint the textbooks/lecturers people learned from by the idiosyncrasies of their notation.
