SUMMATION BY PARTS, ABEL'S IDENTITY, AND MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATION,
Abstract
This report starts with a brief introduction to the summation calculus through consideration of sums and differences as inverses. Following this, several relations are derived for use in transforming sums, including sums of infinitely many terms. Special attention is paid to problems of convergence for expectations relative to discrete probability distributions. (Author)
