I have a finite series of real numbers without any pattern in them. Can we represent such a series with a formula?

eg: If the series is like: 1, 3, 5, 7, ... its easy to write a formula since every number is equal to previous number plus 2. But what about a series where there is no definite pattern.

Thanks
