Abstract

The computation of Dalzell integrals 01xm(1x)n1+x2dx>0\int_0^1 \frac{x^m (1-x)^n}{1+x^2} \, dx > 0 gives new error estimates for the partial sums of the Gregory-Leibniz series 113+1517±1 - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{7} \pm \ldots and for the alternating harmonic series 112+1314±1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \pm \ldots
