Summation, represented by sigma (Σ) is the discreet version of integration.

Integration is the continuous version of summation.

It can be somewhat hard to explain the difference between discreet and continuous phenomena.

The best way to think about integration is as the area under a line, curve, or function. Think of a triangle formed by lines y=0, x=1,and y=x. written mathematically, this is the integral x=0 to 1 of (x). You can also calculate the area of a half unit circle. integral x=-1 to 1 of (sqrt(1-x^2)).

The best way to think about summation is the adding of numbers. sum x=0 to 1 of (x) yields the equation (0+1). sum x=-1 to 1 of (sqrt(1-x^2)) yields the equation (0+1+0).

What is the difference between summation and integration?

Integration is a special case of summation. Summation is the finite sum of multiple, fixed values. Integration is the limit of a summation as the number of elements approches infinity while a part of their respective value approaches zero.


Are summation and integration are same?

Integration uses a summation in the definition of the definite integral, so they are not the same, but they are related. They both yield a type of sum, or area (in the case of integration).

What is the summation cts?

The summation cts refers to a concept in mathematics, specifically in the context of calculus and series. It typically denotes a continuous summation or integration of a function over a given interval, often expressed as an integral. This can be used to find areas under curves or the total accumulation of quantities. If you meant something else by "summation cts," please provide additional context for a more accurate answer.
