CHAPTER 6
Numerical Series and Power Series
Numerical Series of Non-negative Terms
MATLAB enables you to work with numerical series of non-negative terms and with alternating series. In addition, the commands relating to limits allow you to work with different convergence tests for numerical series.
In the case where the sum is convergent, there are various functions available to help you to find the sum. We have the following:
|
symsum(S,v,a,b) |
Sums the series S as the variable v varies from a to b. syms x; symsum(x^k/sym('k!'), k, 0, inf) |
|
symsum(S,v) |
Sums the series S as the variable v varies from 0 to v-1. >> symsum(k^2,k) ans = k^3/3 ... |
