Mathematica 9 is now available

Product

Usage

Product[f, {i,  }] evaluates the product  .
Product[f, {i,  ,  }] starts with i =  . Product[f, {i,  ,  , di}] uses steps di.
Product[f, {i,  ,  }, {j,  ,  }, ... ] evaluates the multiple product  .


Notes

Product[f, {i,  }] can be entered as  .
 can be entered as AliasIndicatorprodAliasIndicator or \[Product].
Product[f, {i,  ,  }] can be entered as  .
• The limits should be underscripts and overscripts of  in normal input, and subscripts and superscripts when embedded in other text.
Product evaluates its arguments in a non-standard way (see Section A.4.2).
Product uses the standard Mathematica iteration specification.
• The iteration variable i is treated as local.
• In multiple products, the range of the outermost variable is given first.
• The limits of a product need not be numbers. They can be Infinity or symbolic expressions.
• If a product cannot be carried out explicitly by multiplying a finite number of terms, Product will attempt to find a symbolic result. In this case, f is first evaluated symbolically.
Product can do essentially all products that are given in standard books of tables.
Product is output in StandardForm using  .
