Summa Summarum
CMS Treatises in Mathematics/
/

Mogens Esrom Larsen


*
Every mathematician, and user of mathematics, needs to manipulate sums 
or to find and handle combinatorial identities. In this book, the author 
provides a coherent tour of many known finite algebraic sums and offers 
a guide for devising simple ways of changing a given sum to a standard 
form that can be evaluated. Summa Summarum serves both as an 
introduction and as a reference for researchers, graduate and 
upper-level undergraduate students, and non-specialists alike: from 
tools as distinct as the most classical ideas of Euler to the recent 
effective computer algorithms by Gosper and Wilf-Zeilberger. The book is 
self-contained with relatively few prerequisites and is accessible to a 
very broad readership.

*Key Features*

    * Offers the reader a method to find a sum by following a reasonably
      simple recipe
    * Offers a comprehensive collection of known formulas for finite sums
    * Examples and counter-examples are used to illustrate important points
    * Great care is given to bibliographic references for further
      in-depth study
    * A reference for mathematicians and users of mathematics who
      encounter a difficult binomial coefficient sum
    * A supplemental textbook in combinatorics for students in
      mathematics and computer science
