Description
Examples
Telescoping(f, k=m..n)
f
-
expression; specified summand
k
name; summation index
m, n
expressions or integers
The Telescoping(f, k=m..n) command computes a closed form of the definite sum of f over the specified range of k using telescoping method, or Newton-Leibniz's formula, that is, it first computes a closed form of the corresponding indefinite sum.
