Series acceleration facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

In numerical analysis, series acceleration (sometimes called as convergence improvement) is the name for algorithms that transforms slowly convergent series to rapidly convergent series.

Where it is used

The NSum and NLimit command in Wolfram Mathematica is based on series acceleration. In addition, Romberg integration (a famous numerical integration method) is also based on this technique.
