Peer reviewedFay, Temple H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1998
Discusses an old technique going back to Euler for accelerating the convergence of an alternating series. Uses a computer algebra system such as Derive, Maple, or Mathematica to implement this method called Eulerization. Argues that investigations using this technique will improve a student's understanding of infinite series. (ASK)
