In this chapter, the following content will be discussed: Change of variable, transforming a sum by a change of variable, upper limit appears in the expression to be summed, special factorial cases, mathematical induction I. | (CSC 102) Lecture 23 Discrete Structures Previous Lecture Summery Sequences Alternating Sequence Summation Notation Product Notation Properties of Sequences Change of Variable Factorial Notations Change Of Variable Observe thet And also This equation illustrates the fact that the symbol used to represent the index of a summation can be replaced by any other symbol as long as the replacement is made in each location where the symbol occurs. As a consequence, the index of a summation is called a dummy variable. A dummy variable is a symbol that derives its entire meaning from its local context. Outside of that context (both before and after), the symbol may have another meaning entirely.
