... to the sum of the extremes multiplied by half the number of terms. Rule. — Add the extremes together, and multiply their sum by half the number of terms ; the product will be the sum of the series.

...Propafition, it follows clearly, that the Sum of all the Terms of an Arithmetical Progreffion, is equal to the Sum of the Extremes multiplied by half the Number of Terms; but if that Number is odd, multiply the forefaid Sum, by that whole Number ; and half the Product is... | |
