Exercise 1.31:
The sum procedure is only the simplest of a vast number of similar
abstractions that can be captured as higher-order procedures.51 Write an analogous
procedure called product that returns the product of the values of a
function at points over a given range. Show how to define factorial in
terms of product. Also use product to compute approximations to
π
using the formula52

If your product procedure generates a recursive process, write one that
generates an iterative process. If it generates an iterative process, write
one that generates a recursive process.
