If F:{1,2,...,n}-->{1,2,...,n} is a bijective function, then by using also the commutative property of real numbers (a+b=b+a for every a,b?R) is been proved that b1+b2+...+bn=bF(1)+bF(2)+...+bF(n). Thus we can represent the sum b1+b2+...+bn as ?b?Bb. Proof (by mathematical induction) that for A,B two finite subsets of the set of real numbers with A?B=? that ?x?A?Bx=?a?Aa+?b?Bb. Sorry if I have grammar mistakes (I'm from Greece).
