I looked on that site, and found:
   [BUTTON] Numerical computation of series
   After typing in an expression for a[k], the items of the sequence of
   partial sums are represented numerically.
Is that what you used? Do you have any idea what is meant by the phrase
"Numerical computation"? Do you believe it gives only an approximation
to the correct answer, or do you believe it gives exactly the
mathematically correct answer?
