This math topic focuses on finding the sum of a series of consecutive integers between two given limits (M and N) by translating a given word problem into a mathematical equation. The problems employ the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series, encouraging learners to identify the correct parameters (starting and ending numbers) and correctly apply the formula to compute the sum. Each question presents multiple equations in LaTeX form as potential solutions, challenging students to select the correct one that represents the sum described in the text.
