Summation Calculator
Calculate the sum of sequences and series using custom formulas. Enter a mathematical expression using variable 'n', specify the range, and compute the total sum along with individual terms.
How to Use
- Enter a formula: Use 'n' as the variable (e.g., n^2 for the sum of squares)
- Set range: Define the starting and ending values for n
- Calculate: Click the button to compute the sum and view all terms
- Examples: Try "n" for arithmetic sum, "n^2" for sum of squares, or "2^n" for geometric series
Common Formulas
- Sum of first n natural numbers: n (from 1 to n)
- Sum of squares: n^2 (from 1 to n)
- Sum of cubes: n^3 (from 1 to n)
- Arithmetic sequence: 2*n + 1 (odd numbers)
- Geometric sequence: 2^n (powers of 2)
Important Notes
This calculator evaluates mathematical expressions safely. For large ranges (over 10,000 terms), calculation may take a moment. The tool supports standard mathematical functions and operators.
