Hi all,
I need to find the symbolic solution of the sum of the mathematical series, but symsum does not provide the right result. Here you an example with the serie:
.

syms i
symsum(i,i)
ans =
i^2/2 - i/2
This is very different from the theretical result. However, if I limit the series as follows:
symsum(i,i,0,100)
ans =
5050
That is corect. However, it is differente than
subs(symsum(i,i),i,100)
ans =
4950
Why symsum does not provide the right result?

syms i n
symsum(i,i, 1, n)
If you define the sum without limits like in symsum(i,i) something different is calculated according to the documentation ( doc symsum ):
