Publication history:

Abstract: Gosper's and Zeilberger's algorithms for summation of terminating hypergeometric series as well as the q-versions of these algorithms are described in a very rigorous way. The paper is a companion to Maple V procedures implementing these algorithms. It concludes with the help information for these procedures.

History:

Abstract: Maple V procedures for summation of terminating hypergeometric and q-hypergeometric series by Zeilberger's algorithm. These are highly rewritten versions of D. Zeilberger's Maple original procedures written around 1990.

Remark: More powerful implementations of Zeilberger's algorithm have been written by Koepf and by Zeilberger in Maple and by Paule in Mathematica. See links to their software.
