Euler-Maclaurin summation formula (Theorem)

Let $ B_r$ be the $ r$th Bernoulli number, and $ B_r(x)$ be the $ r$th Bernoulli periodic function. For any integer $ k \geq 0$ and for any function $ f$ of class $ C^{k+1}$ on $ [a,b],a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$, we have

$\displaystyle \sum_{a < n \leq b} f(n) = \int_a^b f(t)dt + \sum_{r=0}^k \frac{(... ...)}(b) - f^{(r)}(a)) + \frac{(-1)^k}{(k+1)!} \int_a^b B_{k+1}(t)f^{(k+1)}(t)dt. $
