[racket] Am I Missing Something? [HtDP 31.3.1]

All that code came straight out of the text, except that I used if instead
of cond.  The sum, accu-sum, and g-series defs are all given.  In your
results I see a difference.  When I run it at home it's the same.  I can
even (equal? (sum (listof number)) (accu-sum (listof number))) and get true.
