Summation notation or sigma notation allows us to write a long sum in a single expression. For example you may wish to sum a series of terms in which the numbers involved exhibit a clear pattern as follows. Apply summation notation to calculate statistics. Now to represent the Sum we use Summation Notation or Sigma Notation which is just a simple way of expressing the sum of the values of a sequence. Consider for example the. I 1 n a i In this notation the a i is an expression that contains the index i and you plug in 1 and then 2 and then 3 all the way to the last number n and then add up all of the results.
While summation notation has many uses throughout math and specifically calculus we want to focus on how we can use it to write Riemann sums.

Using Summation Notation To find the total amount of money in the college fund and the sum of the amounts deposited we need to add the amounts deposited each month and the amounts earned monthly. We can describe sums with multiple terms using the sigma operator Σ. The summation can be rewritten as.
