    Summation Notation

    Uploaded by

    Tae Dako
    This document introduces summation notation and provides examples and properties for working with summations. Summation notation represents the sum of terms from an initial value to a final value. Key points covered include: - The general form of a summation is the Greek letter sigma (Σ) followed by the variable of summation from the lower to upper limit equal to the terms being added. - Examples are provided to demonstrate evaluating summations. - Properties of summations are outlined, such as distributing constants, combining like terms, and changing indices. - Exercises are given to practice calculating summations.
