Say a tortoise started walking, and once he got a certain distance ahead, Achilles began running after him to prove he was faster. Archilles could never pass him up, because once Achilles got to where the tortoise was when he began running after him, the tortoise would be some distance ahead, and by the time Achilles got to that distance, the tortoise would have moved even further ahead, ad infinitum. Thus, Achilles could never overtake the tortoise, even though he IS clearly faster. Prove me wrong.

I need to know how to store and retrieve numbers in this calculator.

I bought this calculator for my finance class last semester, and I am using it in my stats class this semester. In our calculations we have to carry large decimals till we get to the end...and then round. Someone told me it has this capability, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Thanks!

Suppose you have a sequence of real numbers a_1, a_2, a_3... such that the sequence converges to some number a.

Let S(a_i) denote the sum of consecutive members of the sequence from i=1 to n.
Show: lim (n goes to +inf) of 1/n*S(a_i) = a.
