van Wijngaarden summation formula

edit

I'm slightly surprised that this article has no mention of van Wigngaarden's summation formula. It takes a monotonic (known convergent) series, and converts it into one with alternating signs, to which a method such as Euler's - for which he provided a _very_ neat (adaptive) algorithm, successively available in the Reports on the Algol series of programming languages - or the more modern methods due to Cohen, Rodriguez Villegas and Zagier.

Aad van WijngaardenAdriaan van Wijngaarden – "Aad" is short for "Adriaan". No paper or book I know of refers to him with the short form of his first name. No doubt he was called Aad in informal settings (perhaps exclusively), but that doesn't mean the article should be there as well. Even the Dutch Wikipedia uses "Adriaan", and there "Aad" would be much more recognizable than it is in English. The article was originally at "Adriaan" and the move was done with no further comment but "roepnaam", the Dutch concept of "the name used in informal settings". Wikipedia isn't informal, so this means little. 82.95.254.249 (talk) 15:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
