Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition - Season 1 Episode 18 Getting off the Line-Motion in Space
Zeno's Arrow Paradox shows us that an infinite addition problem (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + . . .) can result in a single number: 1. Similarly, it is possible to approximate values such as ? or the square root of 2 by adding up the first few hundred terms of infinite sum. Calculators use this method when we push the "sin" or square root keys.
