A WORD TO BE BEWARE OF
SUM
The technical meaning
of the word sum
in mathematics
is the answer that you get
when you add numbers together.
People can become confused
when the word sum is used
in the sense of
'do this sum'
when what is meant is
'do this calculation'.
It can be even more confusing
if the 'sum' referred to
is a subraction, multiplication
or a division.
It may be less confusing
to restrict the word 'sum'
to the result of addition
and use the word
CALCULATION elsewhere.
