I want to get the following output for the series: (1 - 1/2 - 1/4) + (1/3 - 1/6 - 1/8) + (1/5 - 1/10 - 1/12) + (1/7 - 1/14 - 1/16) . . . What I did was kl[n_]:=HoldForm[ 1/(2n+1)-1/(4n+2)-1/(4n+4)] then I enter eg: reihe= Sum[kl[n],{n,1,5}] This works quite good, but the fractions are completely unevaluated (because of HoldForm, I know) and display as 1 ---------- 4 2 + 2 But I want them displayed as 1 -- 10 Is there a way to evaluate parts inside a HoldForm, so that the fractions are evaluated but not the sums?
