SUMMATION NOTATION

Under this section we require to do a brief review of summation notation or sigma notation.  We will start out with two integers, n and m, along with n < m and a list of numbers denoted as given here,

an, an+1, an+2,..............,am-2, am-1, am

We need to add them up, or say as,

an + an+1 + an+2+...........+am-2 + am-1 + am

For large lists it can be a fairly cumbersome notation therefore we establish summation notation to denote these types of sums. The case above is denoted as given here.

864_SUMMATION NOTATION.pngaI = an + an+1 + an+2+...........+am-2 + am-1 + am

The i is termed as the index of summation. This notation gives us to add all the ai's up for all integers starting at n and ending on m.

 For illustration,

252_SUMMATION NOTATION 1.png i/(i+1) = (0/(0 +1)) + (1/(1 + 1)) + (2/(2 + 1)) + (3/(3 + 1)) + (4/(4 + 1)) = 163/60 = 2.71667¯
