We can also get compact and manageable expressions for the sum 90 that we can readily investigate what happens as n. approaches infinity. » [Summation rules:] [sri] a ne {sea} Sea) Sea [srs] Slt) = ath it = et Hotei] The summations rules are nothing but the usual rules of arithmetic rewritten in the P novation For example, [sra] is nothing but the distributive law of arithmetic cay + ean +++ Cn = C(t +02 +--+ on) {srs} is nothing but the commutative law of addition (ay bt) + (a2 Ba) +++ + (dn bn) = (an + 2 + +n) + (by + bp +-+- + bn) > [Suinmation formulas] ef) Soe = OEY (ot) Spee = Meta = im el Proof: In the ease of [ti], let § denote the sum of the integers 1,2,8,....m- Lat us write this sum § twice wre at lint the terms in the sum in increasing order whereas we list them in decreasing order the second time 2 1 arr + on S= n tn-1+ Heol If we now add the terms along the vertical columns, we obtain 25 = (ntl +(nti+ +41) = not) ‘This gives our desired formula, once we divide both sides of the above equality by 2.
