1. Introduction
To calculate all products of M distinct integers in [1,N-1], items needs to be divided into 2M-1 categories.
For example, calculate ∑3-products in [1,6]
So ①=AA,②=AB,③=BA,④=BB.Items of a category have the same discontinuities at the same positions.
Continuity means the distance between factors remains constant. Discontinuity assumes the distance between factors can be
arbitrarily expanded. As N increases, the number of items will also increase.In ②=AB:
N-1=6,products={1×2×6,2×3×6,3×4×6},1×2,2×3,3×4 keep
continuity. 2×6,3×6,4×6 keep discontinuity.
N-1=7,products={1×2×7,2×3×7,3×4×7,4×5×7}
Start here and going through several promotions, [

introduced Formal Calculation:
M-series:Seriei={Ki,Ki+Di,Ki+
2Di…Ki+(N-1)Di}, i∈
[1,M], Ki,Di∈
ring with identity elements.
Use PS=[K1:D1, K2:D2...KM:DM]
to represent the M-series.
[K1:D, K2:D...KM:D]
is abbreviated as [K1, K2…KM]:D. [K1,K2…KM]:1
is abbreviated as [K1,K2…KM]
Use PT=[T1,T2...TM]
to indicate some products in M-series.By default,the following uses:
PS=[K1:D1,K2:D2…KM:DM],PT=[T1,T2...TM]
PS1=[K1:D1,K2:D2…KM:DM,KM+1:DM+1]=[PS,
KM+1:DM+1],PT1=[PT, TM+1= TM+2-p]
Recursive define SUN(N,PS,PT), abbreviated as
SUM(N):
This is actually nested summation. For example:
Formal
Computation was once named the shape of numbers because PS and PT specify the
shape of the product factors and extensively use the concepts of continuity,
discontinuity, and position. It has little to do with trigonometric numbers,
squares numbers, etc. To avoid confusion, it was renamed.
If Ti< Ti+1,Ti ∈
N,define PB(PT)=count of discontinuities of PT. If compared to [1,2...M],PB(PT)=TM-M.
Also define PB(PS)=count of discontinuities of
PS,it’s compared to a certain benchmark.
If PB (PT)=PB (PS) and their discontinuities are at
the same positions, then say them have the same shape.
The following use K to represent the set{K1,K2...KM},
T to represent the set{T1,T2...TM}
X(T)=Count of {X1, X2...XM}
∈T
,
XT-1=Count
of {X1, X2...Xi-1}
∈
T,XK-1=Count of {X1, X2...Xi-1}
∈
K,XT-1+XK-1=i-1
Don't swap Xi,then each
∏
Xi corresponds to one expression in
the SUM(N).
S1(N,M) is unsigned stirling number of
the first kind. S2(N,M) is stirling number of the second kind.
This is an important conclusion. It is the origin
of Formal Computation and why ①②③④
came into being.
Formal Calculation can be calculated in the ring with identity elements.
Property of H(g)
The recursive relationship of H(g) can be obtained
by definition.

It’s easy to understand MINg. Imagine
that discontinuity is a hole. Factors from small to large with a distance of 2
as an hole.MINg =
∑
products with
g holes.
For example M=3,MIN0=1×2×3,MIN1=1×2×4+1×3×4,MIN2=1×3×5,they
are used to calcute ∑3-proudcts.
Due to historical reasons, they are called MIN,
which is actually the first item of SUM().Di can be less than 0, at
this point, they are not the minimum terms.

3. Application of SUM(N) and H(g)
Exclude products≡0 MOD P , then a series of congruence can be obtained.For Example:
Simply put, PS and PS have the same shape.
If Ti= Ti+1, it is also established.
The classification principle also applies to the following Formal Calculation.
PT’s domain can be extended to ℂ. The Recursive Formula of H (g) can be used for.

5. Matrix of SUM(N)
Consider H(g) as variables,list SUM(N),SUM(N+1)…SUM(N+M),we can obtain a (M+1) ×(M+1) matrix
Let P=N+TM-M,Q=N-1,define A(P,Q,M), respectively corresponding to the three forms
If SUM(N) or ▽SUM(N) is easy to obtained,then H(g) can be calculated with the Cramer’s law.

12. Possible future research directions
The proof process of formal calculation needs to meet f(a+b)=f(a)f(b), so it cannot be further generalized through the method of this article.
Examining various products,SUM(3,[1,1],[1,4])=1×1+2×{(1+2)+1} +3×{(1+2+3)+(1+2)+1}
Even 2-parameters Formal Calcution are complex.
