How to calculate
sum(1.0002^n/n, 1, 20000)
with the build-in template sigma?
To get an approximate answer,
I have to calculate
sum(1.0002^n/n, 1, 10000) + sum(1.0002^n/n, 10001,20000) = 10.9246.
Somewhat cumbersome.
On the HP50G, I get the wished answer by writing
directly sum(1.0002^n/n, 1, 20000).
Thanks for your help.

It works directly in Home, summing 1.0002^X/X from 1 to 20000. Summations in Home apparently do not have the same restriction as CAS. BTW, I think that the correct result is approximately 28.1439738, not 10.9246.

In BASIC I get 28.14397384
You are right, I forgot one zero.
A pity anyway to have to switch to HOME to get a simple result.
Observation
To be able to enter the beginning value for n (under the sigma-summation-sign) and the last summation value of n, I had to select TEXTBOOKS notation.
Is it possible to write it "normally" in ALGEBRAIC mode
(or in RPN like in the equation writer of the HP50G)?

the CAS sum() function is the
discrete sum, related to an integral, not an algebraic sum. Are they the same? I'm not a mathematician, so someone else will have to answer.
By the way, how long did this summation take to run on the Prime?
G1 vs G2?
I noted the following calculation times (in minutes:seconds) on some of the calculators I tried it on.
Casio fx-CG50
1:13
TI-89
10:40
TI-92
18:55

Hello
G1: 1,7 sec
G2: 0,7 sec
Just for your information
Summation from 1 to 20 000
of '1.00002^n/n'
gives on my phone Samsung Galaxy S6
with emulated calculator HP50G
with the EMU48 application:
4'12" (calculator "emulated" / original speed)
and 10.9" (full speed).
Regards,
Gil
Sorry, full speed gives 8.9"
on my Galaxy S6 Emu48/HP50G.

Perhaps the 10 000 limit is related to the size of lists, which are limited to 10 000 items on the HP Prime?
How about
[incorrect formula deleted]
See my later post

The TI Nspire was a bit high beginning with 9th decimal (28.143973835105)

For the HP 50, the correct syntax is '\GS(n=1, 20000, 1.0002^n/n)' where \GS is the Sigma character (right-shift S).
On a physical HP 50g, I get 28.1439738407 in 354.6 seconds, or just under 6 min.
Similar for me on HP 50g using evaluate the term from the equation writer.

For comparison with the above:
TI-30X Pro MathPrint: 20:09 answer: 28.14397384 (28.14397383500)
Slower than its rival Casio fx-991EX on this task.
Casio fx-5800p:
28.14397383, about 29 minutes.
If you wanted one sum rather than two (1-10000 plus 10001-20000) you could use
Sum(1.0002^n/n + 1.0002^(10000+n)/(10000+n),n,1,20000/2)
Which only has 10 000 terms.
But it is no faster than the other expression.
(the formula I tried earlier was incorrect)

Thanks, Valentin! Although I get similar timing with Free42 on my laptop computer, my DM42 takes forever, apparently updating the stack display constantly even though the program contains no display commands. Anybody know how to tell the DM42 not to update the stack display while running? Thanks in advance!

You can try with
RefLCD set to 0.
