SUMMARY
The expression "1 + n + n(n - 1) + n(n - 1)(n - 2) + ... + n!" can be represented in summation notation as ∑_{i = 0}^{n} \frac{n!}{(n - i)!}. This formulation effectively captures the factorial growth of the terms involved, allowing for a concise mathematical representation. The use of sigma notation simplifies the understanding of the series and its components.
