Don't you find it tiring when we express a series with many terms using numerous addition and/or subtraction signs? Don't you wish that we have something to symbolise this action? Well we have a solution, introducing the "Sigma Notation"! In this section, we will learn how to utilise the sigma notation to represent a series, as well as how to evaluate it.
i=1n\sum_{i=1}^n(an equation containing ii)
