  35. <p>The input to either of these functions is a list of real numbers
  36. represented as explained in <a href="math.html#math">math</a>.
  37. <p>The result is a pair <code>(</code><var>s</var><code>,</code><var>e</var><code>)</code> holding an estimate of
  38. the sum, <var>s</var>, and an estimate of the error in the sum,
  39. <var>e</var>, each being a real number.
  40. <p>Both functions compute the same sum, <var>s</var>, but the <code>utrunc</code> function
  41. is faster and
  42. <a name="index-infinite-sum-725"></a>more memory efficient, using a less trustworthy method of estimating
  43. the error.
