How do I calculate this sum in terms of 'n'? I know this is a harmonic progression, but I can't find how to calculate the summation of it. Also, is it an expansion of any mathematical function? 1 ...

Oct 29, 2016 · I know that the sum of powers of 2 2 is 2n+1 − 1 2 n + 1 1, and I know the mathematical induction proof. But does anyone know how 2n+1 − 1 2 n + 1 1 comes up in the first place. For …

How can we sum up sin and cos series when the angles are in arithmetic progression? For example here is the sum of cos series: n − 1 ∑ k = 0cos(a + k ⋅ d) = sin(n × d 2) sin(d 2) × cos (2a + (n − 1) ⋅ d 2)

Jan 28, 2022 · This seems pretty basic, but I'm starting with the subject and the only formula I have to use for these kind of problems starts the summation at 1, like this. ∑n i=1(i) ∑ i = 1 n (i) = n(n+1) 2 n …

Feb 23, 2021 · I am trying to help a high school student to solve summation calculation problems. The i i value of most answers I found was based on i = 1 i = 1 like this: Now, the i i value of our questions is …

Apr 3, 2021 · Repeated sum is denoted using $\\sum$ and is called "summation." What is the name for the analogous process with multiplication, denoted $\\prod$?

Taking differences once give i2 i 2, again gives 2i − 1 2 i 1, and a third time gives a constant 2 2. This suggests the formula should be a third-degree polynomial with leading coefficient 2 3! = 1 3 2 3! = 1 …

You ask why this nontraditional approach to summation might be useful. The answer is that sometimes this approach gives the correct result in a real world problem. A simple example is the Casimir effect. …

The first chapter of Concrete Mathematics by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik presents about seven different techniques for deriving this identity, so you might be interested to look at that.
