Summation

In summary, a summation is a mathematical notation used to represent the addition of a sequence of numbers or terms. To solve a summation, various techniques such as finding a pattern, using formulas, or using algebraic manipulation can be used. The purpose of solving summations is to find the total value of a sequence of numbers or terms, which can be useful in various mathematical and scientific applications. However, not all summations can be solved as some may have infinite terms or may not have a pattern that can be easily identified. A computer can also solve summations by using algorithms and programming languages, but it still requires a set of instructions or rules to be able to solve the summation.
