Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  jfrb: Yes, summation is the name of the capital sigma sign used to express series, and also of such series. When you read it out, it would just be "the sum of (n squared or whatever)", but in this context, I think summations would be used ahead of sums
