<section>
|
||
<p>When performing calculations, we’ll often end up writing sums of terms, where each term follows a pattern. For example: <span class="math display">\[\frac{1 + 1^2}{3 + 1} +
|
||
\frac{2 + 2^2}{3 + 2} +
|
||
\frac{3 + 3^2}{3 + 3} +
|
||
\cdots +
|
||
\frac{100 + 100^2}{3 + 100}\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>We will often use <em>summation notation</em> to express such sums concisely. We could rewrite the previous example simply as: <span class="math display">\[\sum_{i=1}^{100} \frac{i + i^2}{3 + i}.\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>In this example, <span class="math inline">\(i\)</span> is called the <em>index of summation</em>, and <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(100\)</span> are the <em>lower</em> and <em>upper bounds</em> of the summation, respectively. A bit more generally, for any pair of integers <span class="math inline">\(j\)</span> and <span class="math inline">\(k\)</span>, and any function <span class="math inline">\(f : \Z \to \R\)</span>, we can use summation notation in the following way: <span class="math display">\[\sum_{i=j}^k f(i) = f(j) + f(j+1) + f(j+2) + \dots + f(k).\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>We can similarly use <em>product notation</em> to abbreviate multiplication:<label for="sn-0" class="margin-toggle sidenote-number"></label><input type="checkbox" id="sn-0" class="margin-toggle"/><span class="sidenote">Fun fact: the Greek letter <span class="math inline">\(\Sigma\)</span> (sigma) corresponds to the first letter of “sum,” and the Greek letter <span class="math inline">\(\Pi\)</span> (pi) corresponds to the first letter of “product.”</span> <span class="math display">\[\prod_{i=j}^k f(i) = f(j) \times f(j+1) \times f(j+2) \times \dots \times f(k).\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>It is sometimes useful (e.g., in certain formulas) to allow a summation or product’s lower bound to be greater than its upper bound. In this case, we say the summation or product is <em>empty</em>, and define their values as follows:<label for="sn-1" class="margin-toggle sidenote-number"></label><input type="checkbox" id="sn-1" class="margin-toggle"/><span class="sidenote">These particular values are chosen so that adding an empty summation and multiplying by an empty product do not change the value of an expression.</span></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When <span class="math inline">\(j > k\)</span>, <span class="math inline">\(\sum_{i=j}^k f(i) = 0\)</span>.</li>
|
||
<li>When <span class="math inline">\(j > k\)</span>, <span class="math inline">\(\prod_{i=j}^k f(i) = 1\)</span>.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Finally, we’ll end off this section with a few formulas for common summation formulas, and a few laws governing how expressions using summation and product notation can be simplified.</p>
