Here is the sum of the first  odd integers.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

Here is another finite sum.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

This makes the iterator increment in steps of  .

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

Here is a triangular array.

In[4]:=  

Out[4]//TableForm=

Here is its sum.

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

Mathematica gives an exact result for this sum.

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

Wrapping N around this result gives a numerical approximation.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

If you know that you need a numerical result from the start, NSum is faster.

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=
