**Mathematics Exercise: Summation and Index Variable Transformation**

### IV. Problems on Summation Notation

**(a)** Write the following series using summation notation:
\[ 1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \cdots + \frac{1}{3^n} \]

---

**(b)** Transform the summation by changing the index variable from \( k \) to \( j \) using the given relationship \( j = k-1 \):

\[
\sum_{k=1}^{7} k(k+2)(k-3)
\]

---

- **Task:** Write out the first four terms of the following summation:
  
  \[
  \sum_{j=1}^{n} j(j-1)
  \]

  **Include at least 4 terms:**
