Extract

The widespread availability of electronic computers has widened the domain of possible investigations at all levels in mathematics, in the classroom no less than in advanced research. For instance, provided convergence is not exceptionally slow, series may be summed quite accurately and very quickly using a pocket calculator. This enables us to check theoretical work like the evaluation of certain integrals which can be expressed as series.
