Evaluating a double summation
Evaluate the double sum and give its numerical value.
Hint
Work from the inside out: for each fixed , first compute the inner sum , then sum the resulting expression over to .
Step-by-step solution
First fix and evaluate the inner sum over : , since is treated as a constant while summing over .
Now substitute this result into the outer sum: . So the double sum equals .
