I need to work with sums and difference of terms like Sum[i^2/(a + b
i)^2, {i,0,n}]
which Mathematica immediately converts to polygamma's divided by a
function of b.
How do I stop the conversion?
the function works just fine when b->0, but their reformulation does
not. Additionally, I want to expand and manipulate the series for small
values of n, which can't be done once its converted to PolyGamma.
Thanks
