It fills an important gap in the literature by unifying and extending disparate historical results. It also presents new material that has not been published before. Importantly, it shows how the study of fractional finite sums benefits from and contributes to many areas of mathematics, such as divergent series, numerical integration, approximation theory, asymptotic methods, special functions, series acceleration, Fourier analysis, the calculus of finite differences, and information theory. As such, it appeals to a wide audience of mathematicians whose interests include the study of special functions, summability theory, analytic number theory, series and sequences, approximation theory, asymptotic expansions, or numerical methods. Richly illustrated, it features chapter summaries, and includes numerous examples and exercises. The content is mostly developed from scratch using only undergraduate mathematics, such as calculus and linear algebra.   . 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aFunctions of real variables 606 $aSpecial functions 606 $aDifferential equations 606 $aSequences (Mathematics) 606 $aApproximation theory 606 $aNumber Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001 606 $aReal Functions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12171 606 $aSpecial Functions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1221X 606 $aOrdinary Differential Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12147 606 $aSequences, Series, Summability$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1218X 606 $aApproximations and Expansions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12023 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 0$aFunctions of real variables. 615 0$aSpecial functions. 615 0$aDifferential equations. 615 0$aSequences (Mathematics). 615 0$aApproximation theory. 615 14$aNumber Theory. 615 24$aReal Functions. 615 24$aSpecial Functions. 615 24$aOrdinary Differential Equations. 615 24$aSequences, Series, Summability. 615 24$aApproximations and Expansions. 676 $a515 700 $aAlabdulmohsin$b Ibrahim M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0767908 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300124403321 996 $aSummability Calculus$91563787 997 $aUNINA
