  2. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    The summation of an explicit sequence is denoted as a succession of additions. For example, summation of [1, 2, 4, 2] is denoted 1 + 2 + 4 + 2, and results in 9, that is, 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 9. Because addition is associative and commutative, there is no need for parentheses, and the result is the same irrespective of the order of the summands ...

    The sum of the series is a random variable whose probability density function is close to for values between and , and decreases to near-zero for values greater than or less than . Intermediate between these ranges, at the values ± 2 {\displaystyle \pm 2} , the probability density is 1 8 − ε {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{8}}-\varepsilon } for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The n-th harmonic number, which is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n positive integers, is never an integer except for the case n = 1. Moreover, József Kürschák proved in 1918 that the sum of the reciprocals of consecutive natural numbers (whether starting from 1 or not) is never an integer.
