3summation Notation

The document introduces summation notation and provides examples of how to write summations in full notation and how to write expressions using summation notation given the full expressions. It also gives theorems on properties of summations, such as the summation of sums being the sum of the summations. An exercise is provided with examples of using summation notation to write out expressions in full and using given values to evaluate expressions written with summation notation.
