From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euler–Boole summation is a method for summing alternating series based on Euler's polynomials, which are defined by

The concept is named after Leonhard Euler and George Boole.

The periodic Euler functions are

The Euler–Boole formula to sum alternating series is

where and is the kth derivative.
