Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

Telescoping(f, k=m..n)

Parameters

f

-

expression; specified summand

k

-

name; summation index

m, n

-

expressions or integers

Description

• 

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.
