Aitken's delta-squared process is a series acceleration method used to accelerate the convergence of a sequence. It was introduced in 1926 by Alexander Aitkin. The method generates a sequence that converges to the root of a function more quickly than the original sequence. The summary provides an example applying Aitken's process to find the root of x^2+2x-2=0, starting with x1=1 and calculating successive terms x2, x3, etc. until the difference between terms is less than a small value. Pseudocode is also provided to implement the Aitken's process algorithm.
