Accelerating the Convergence of Infinite Series using Stronger Approximations
Item
- Description
- David F. Putnam Science Center, Room 102
- The objective of this talk is to introduce three methods that transform a given convergent infinite series into another infinite series that converges to the same sum and that approximates the sum with fewer terms. This is referred to as accelerating a series. The benefit of this process is to use less computing power to gain good approximations. This presentation will focus on Kummer's Acceleration Method, Aitken's 2 Process and Euler's Transformation. Examples and applications will be included.
