Sigma notation Σ f(k), k=a..b condenses sums of sequences. For instance, Σ (from k=1 to n) of k² sums squares up to n². This notation is standard in series expansions, integrals approximations, or discrete mathematics proofs. Interpreting it helps read or construct advanced formulas swiftly—like the sum of an arithmetic or geometric sequence. Building fluency with sigma notation powers your forays into calculus (Riemann sums), combinatorics, or any scenario needing compact, systematic summation representation.
