Rational functions

An infinite series of any rational function of

can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma

functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition.[6] This fact can also be applied to finite series of
rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series
contains a large number of terms.
