The harmonic sequence, which consists of the reciprocals of natural numbers (1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...), does not have a single discoverer, as it emerged from early mathematical developments in various cultures. However, the concept of harmonic numbers and related sequences can be traced back to ancient Greek mathematicians like Nicomachus and later to Indian mathematicians. The harmonic series was studied more rigorously in the context of calculus by mathematicians like Leonhard Euler in the 18th century.
harmonic series 1/n .
It is a sequence of numbers. That is all. The sequence could be arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, exponential or be defined by a rule that does not fit into any of these categories. It could even be random.
A harmonic sequence is defined as a sequence of the form ( a_n = \frac{1}{n} ), where ( n ) is a positive integer. The sum of a harmonic series, ( \sum_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{n} ), diverges as ( N ) approaches infinity, meaning it grows without bound. Unlike arithmetic or geometric series, which have closed-form sums due to their consistent growth patterns, the harmonic series does not converge to a finite limit, making it impossible to express its sum with a simple formula. Thus, while there are approximations (like the use of logarithms), there is no exact formula for the sum of an infinite harmonic series.
Sequences can be categorized into several types, including arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic sequences. An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between consecutive terms, while a geometric sequence has a constant ratio. Harmonic sequences involve the reciprocals of an arithmetic sequence. Additionally, there are recursive sequences, where each term is defined based on previous terms, and Fibonacci sequences, characterized by each term being the sum of the two preceding ones.

If a sequence A = {a1, a2, a3, ... } is an arithmetic progression then the sequence H = {1/a1, 1/a2, 1/a3, ... } is a harmonic progression.
A harmonic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the reciprocal of each term forms an arithmetic progression. In other words, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant when the reciprocals of the terms are taken. It is the equivalent of an arithmetic progression in terms of reciprocals.
It is a progression of terms whose reciprocals form an arithmetic progression.

Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the number sequence which is named after him.
That is called a sequence in music. It is a technique where a melodic or harmonic pattern is repeated at different pitch levels. This can create a sense of unity and development in the music.

Not sure about the finonacci sequence but the Fibonacci sequence was discovered and studies by Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo of Pisa.
