We also discussed how to convert summation to multiplication along with formulas and properties of sigma function and sigma notation in statistics. We have provided all the required formulas and theorems required for solving questions of this concept. It is very frequently used in the sequence and series chapter in the JEE syllabus. Sigma and Pi notations are used whenever we try to deal with a sequence of numbers. Suppose we have a sequence of numbers x 1 ,x 2. There are several sigma notations in mathematics.

Pi notation is a convenient technique to represent a wide range of products.Īn integer below the Sigma (the "beginning term number") and an integer above the Sigma (the "ending term number") are the common uses of Sigma notation. When working with arithmetic or geometric series, the Sigma notation provides a succinct approach to describe multiple sums. In mathematics, the notations Sigma (summation) and Pi (product) are used to express repeated addition or multiplication.

Lowercase “Pi” or $\pi$ is a universal constant with a value close to 3.14, used to measure the volume and circumference of cyclic objects. Moreover, lowercase “sigma” or $\sigma$ is used to denote “sigma-function” and as “standard deviation” in statistics. The Greek letter capital “sigma” or $\Sigma$ and capital “pi” or $\Pi$ are used with lower and upper limits of summation or multiplication. In mathematics, we use the capital “sigma” and “pi” notation to add and multiply elements of a sequence respectively.
