Extract

The Eulerian numbers are not strangers to readers of the Gazette but they are not normally associated with the subject of this article, despite the similarity of their names. This article seeks to use Eulerian numbers in generalised telescoping sums, a role that is a powerful extension of an established technique – the Euler summation formula.
