Sigma Notation

Summation is the addition of a set of numbers; the result is their sum.
The "numbers" to be summed may be natural numbers, complex numbers,
matrices, or still more complicated objects. An infinite sum is a
subtle procedure known as a series. Note that the term summation has a special meaning in the context of divergent series related to extrapolation.

Antiderivatives

In calculus, an antiderivative, primitive or indefinite integral of a function f is a function F whose derivative is equal to f, i.e., F ′ = f. The process of solving for antiderivatives is antidifferentiation (or indefinite integration).
They are also called integrals, but this usage is not universally
accepted. Antiderivatives are related to definite integrals through the

Second Derivative Test

In calculus, a branch of mathematics, the second derivative test determines whether a given stationary point of a function is a maximum or a minimum.

The test states: If the function f is twice differentiable in a neighbourhood of a stationary point x, then:
