SUMMARY
The AMSMATH package in LaTeX allows users to modify the appearance of mathematical symbols, including the summation symbol \sum. To increase the size of \sum, one should use the command $\displaystyle \sum$ in their TeX file. This command ensures that the summation symbol is displayed in its larger, more prominent form, which is particularly useful in mathematical documents requiring clarity and emphasis.
