In this note, we present an interesting approach to sum subseries in closed form. This approach seems to be not widely known and remains under-appreciated. Our study will lead to the discovery of results some of which have been known for a long time, some which were found only recently, as well as those which appear to be new.

Based on the generating functions, for any positive integers "n" and "k", identities are established and the explicit formula for a[subscript i](k) in terms of Fibonomial coefficients are presented. The corresponding results are extended to some other famous sequences including Lucas and Pell sequences.

Parametric differentiation and integration under the integral sign constitutes a powerful technique for calculating integrals. However, this topic is generally not included in the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. In this note, we give a comprehensive review of this approach, and show how it can be systematically used to evaluate most of the…
