SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on using MATLAB to plot and sum values derived from vectors and matrices. The user, Kate, seeks assistance with plotting the results of a summation involving a 3x3 identity matrix and vectors defined as j and k1. The correct approach involves using the MATLAB functions symsum and sum to compute the desired values and then plot them accordingly. The identity matrix m plays a crucial role in the calculations, specifically when combined with the vector entries.
