calculate the sum of the following geometric series when N = 1000 and r =1/2 I have searched here and in the "help" in Matlab, but i found nothing about the geometric series
If your geometric series is a, a*r, a*r^2, ..., a*r^N, then its sum is: s = a*(1-r^(N+1))/(1-r)

I am trying to plot, at x=pi/4, the variation of the error percentage along h (h increments from 0.01 to 0.5), using the first order central difference method for function f(x)=sinx. Can't figure out what's wrong with the code. Any help please?
What you want for t(n) is: t(n) =(sin(pi/4+h)-sin(pi/4-h))/(2*h); In other words the increment 'h' should be applied to t...
