Using Excel Spreadsheet to Understand the Limiting Value of a Sequence
N. Sriskanda. the Sixteenth Annual International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics, Chicago, (2003)
Abstract
Problems involving sequences and series are rarely common in science and mathematics subjects. Especially for students to find the limiting value of a sequence, in other words to determine the convergence or divergence of a sequence, is still a confusing part. This confusion can be solved numerically and graphically using the application of Excel spreadsheet techniques. Students could visualize the limiting value of a sequence. Studentsメ understanding about the convergence of a sequence was overwhelming.
