In LaTeX, \sum
is rendered as inside math mode. The difference between the summation operator \sum
and \Sigma
, which generates the capital letter , is that \sum
appears larger, and that it supports the limits to be displayed below and above the symbol.
The following example illustrates the difference between \sum
and \Sigma
.
