Convergence problems occur abundantly in all branches of mathematics or in the mathematical treatment of the sciences. Sequence transformations are principal tools to overcome convergence problems of the kind. They accomplish this by converting a slowly converging or diverging input sequence $\{s_n \}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ into another sequence $\{s^{\prime}_n \}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with hopefully better numerical properties. Pad\'{e} approximants, which convert the partial sums of a power series to a doubly indexed sequence of rational functions, are the best known sequence transformations, but the emphasis of the review will be on alternative sequence transformations which for some problems provide better results than Pad\'{e} approximants.
