Which programming language or a library can process Infinite Series?

Question

Which programming language or a library is able to process infinite series (like geometric or harmonic)? It perhaps must have a database of some well-known series and automatica

Answer 1

The C++ iRRAM library performs real arithmetic exactly. Among other things it can compute limits exactly using the limit function. The homepage for iRRAM is here. Check out the limit function in the documentation. Note that I'm not talking about arbitrary precision arithmetic. This is exact arithmetic, for a sensible definition of exact. Here's their code to compute e exactly, pulled from the example on their web site:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Compute an approximation to e=2.71.. up to an error of 2^p
 REAL e_approx (int p)
{
  if ( p >= 2 ) return 0;

  REAL y=1,z=2;
  int i=2;
  while ( !bound(y,p-1) ) {
    y=y/i;
    z=z+y;
    i+=1;
  }
  return z;
};

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Compute the exact value of  e=2.71.. 
REAL e()
{
  return limit(e_approx);
};
