  2. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  3. Running total - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_total

    A running total or rolling total is the summation of a sequence of numbers which is updated each time a new number is added to the sequence, by adding the value of the new number to the previous running total. Another term for it is partial sum. The purposes of a running total are twofold. First, it allows the total to be stated at any point in ...

  4. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    The sum a + b can be interpreted as a binary operation that combines a and b, in an algebraic sense, or it can be interpreted as the addition of b more units to a. Under the latter interpretation, the parts of a sum a + b play asymmetric roles, and the operation a + b is viewed as applying the unary operation +b to a. [20]

    Sum most commonly means the total of two or more numbers added together; see addition. Sum can also refer to: Mathematics. Sum (category theory), the generic ...

  6. Zero-sum game - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum_game

    If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero. Thus, cutting a cake , where taking a more significant piece reduces the amount of cake available for others as much as it increases the amount available for that taker, is a zero-sum game if all participants value each unit of cake ...

  7. Direct sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum

    Use of direct sum terminology and notation is especially problematic when dealing with infinite families of rings: If () is an infinite collection of nontrivial rings, then the direct sum of the underlying additive groups can be equipped with termwise multiplication, but this produces a rng, that is, a ring without a multiplicative identity.

  8. Total sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_sum_of_squares

    In statistical data analysis the total sum of squares (TSS or SST) is a quantity that appears as part of a standard way of presenting results of such analyses. For a set of observations, y i , i ≤ n {\displaystyle y_{i},i\leq n} , it is defined as the sum over all squared differences between the observations and their overall mean y ...

  9. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    The arithmetic mean (or simply mean or average) of a list of numbers, is the sum of all of the numbers divided by their count.Similarly, the mean of a sample ,, …,, usually denoted by ¯, is the sum of the sampled values divided by the number of items in the sample.
