Extract

1.The study of the numerical transformation of slowly convergent series and sequences permits of a certain unity of approach, since the partial sums of the former may be regarded as members of a slowly convergent sequence, while the differences of the latter may be treated as terms in a slowly convergent series. In the ensuing discussion, no essential distinction between the two problems is made, and methods devised for one relate with equal facility to the other.
