WHAT DOES SUMMATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Summation

Summation is the operation of adding a sequence of numbers; the result is their sum or total. If numbers are added sequentially from left to right, any intermediate result is a partial sum, prefix sum, or running total of the summation. The numbers to be summed (called addends, or sometimes summands) may be integers, rational numbers, real numbers, or complex numbers. Besides numbers, other types of values can be added as well: vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any additive group (or even monoid). For finite sequences of such elements, summation always produces a well-defined sum (possibly by virtue of the convention for empty sums). The summation of an infinite sequence of values is called a series. A value of such a series may often be defined, by means of a limit (although sometimes the value may be infinite, and often no value results at all). Another notion involving limits of finite sums is integration. The term summation has a special meaning related to extrapolation in the context of divergent series. The summation of the sequence is an expression whose value is the sum of each of the members of the sequence.

Definition of summation in the English dictionary

The first definition of summation in the dictionary is the act or process of determining a sum; addition. Other definition of summation is the result of such an act or process. Summation is also a summary.
