Description

• 

The SumTools package contains commands that help find closed forms of definite and indefinite sums. The package consists of three commands and three subpackages.

• 

Each command in the SumTools package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.

• 

To display the help page for a particular SumTools command, see Getting Help with a Command in a Package.
