Series sum calculators find the total of all terms in arithmetic, geometric, or special mathematical series. They have applications in finance (annuities), physics, and pure mathematics.
Formel
Arithmetic: Sₙ = n(a₁+aₙ)/2; Geometric: Sₙ = a₁(1−rⁿ)/(1−r); General: Σₙ₌₁^N aₙ
- a₁
- first term
- aₙ
- last term
- r
- common ratio (geometric) — for geometric series
- Sₙ
- sum of first n terms
Steg-för-steg-guide
- 1Arithmetic: Sₙ = n/2 × (2a + (n−1)d)
- 2Sum 1 to n: n(n+1)/2
- 3Sum of squares: n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
- 4Sum of cubes: [n(n+1)/2]²

Vanliga frågor
What is the difference between a sequence and a series?
Sequence: list of terms (1, 2, 3, ...). Series: sum of sequence terms (1+2+3+...).
How do I find the sum of integers from 1 to n?
Use the formula Sₙ = n(n+1)/2. For n=100: S = 100×101/2 = 5050.
What is sigma notation?
Σ notation compactly represents series sums: Σₙ₌₁^N aₙ means a₁ + a₂ + ... + aₙ.
