I.  Summation Notation 

SumsA series can also be represented by using summation notation, which uses the Greek letter Σ (capital sigma) to denote the sum of a sequence defined by a rule, as shown.

II.  Expanding Sums 

3.  Evaluate 

1.  Evaluate  2.  Evaluate

Because many sequences are infinite and do not have defined sums, we often find partial sums. A partial sum, indicated by Sn, is the sum of a specified number of terms of a sequence.

4.  Evaluate

III.  Writing Sums in Summation Notation

5.  Write the series in summation notation.

4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20

Step 1 Find a rule for the kth term of the sequence.ak = 4k

Step 2  Write the notation for the first 5 terms

6.  Write the series in summation notation.

Step 1 Find a rule for the kth term of the sequence.

Step 2  Write the notation for the first 5 terms

Note, for sequences with alternate signs:

7.  Write the series in summation notation.

Step 1 Find a rule for the kth term of the sequence.

Step 2  Write the notation for the first 5 terms

IV.  Using Summation Formulas

V.  Application

9.  Sam is laying out patio stones in a triangular pattern. The first row has 2 stones and each row has 2 additional stones, as shown below. How many complete rows can he make with a box of 144 stones?
