Summation Notationks

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 as the sum of terms from index k=1 to n. - Examples of evaluating specific summations. - Properties for manipulating and simplifying summations, such as distributing constants, combining like terms, and changing index variables. - Exercises for practicing evaluating and representing sums using summation notation.
