How does one use the following  notation? It′s new to my   understanding of using only  one sigma sign.  For e.g        Σ_(j=1) ^m Σ_(i=1) ^n (i+1)(j−1)

Consider it as       Σ_(j=1) ^m (Σ_(i=1) ^n (i+1)(j−1))
Consideritasmj=1(ni=1(i+1)(j1))

So for e.g  Σ_(j=1) ^3 (Σ_(i=1) ^4 (i+1)(j−1))=Σ_(j=1) ^3 {(j−1)[2+3+4+5]}  =Σ_(j=1) ^3 {14(j−1)}  =14×0+14×1+14×2  =42  ?
Sofore.g3j=1(4i=1(i+1)(j1))=3j=1{(j1)[2+3+4+5]}=3j=1{14(j1)}=14×0+14×1+14×2=42?

I think so.  Alternate way(for testing your answer)  i=1,2,3,4 ; for each i, j=1,2,3  Let A_i ={1,2,3,4}  and  A_j ={1,2,3}         Evaluate the expression [ (i+1)(j−1)]for every pair (i,j)  of A_i ×A_j   and then add.
