Hi All,

i need to write a code to calculate the value of the following Sigma function:

thanks in advance

This sounds like a homework assignment. If it is, show us the code you've written to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with how to write MATLAB code, I suggest you start with the free MATLAB Onramp tutorial (https://www.mathworks.com/support/learn-with-matlab-tutorials.html) to quickly learn the essentials of MATLAB.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with the mathematics you'll need to solve the problem, I recommend asking your professor and/or teaching assistant for help.

i cannot fully understand your comment, should i search those ?

[Torsten]

Yes, you want to sum (look for "sum" in the MATLAB documentation) some terms involving factorials (look for "factorial" in the MATLAB documentation).

Hey Mohamed, this is a possible approach to do symbolic sum of series;

>> syms i;
>> symsum(((3^i)/factorial(i)), i, 0, 5);

Please check: https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/sym.symsum.html

Hope this helps.
