Since years my motto is:

Who understands a bit of mathematics, computes a sum with closed formulas. (obviously not hard to compute sums)
Who doesn't, uses a for loop for the computation.

Obviously I am in the second group. I do for loop and then I benchmark things to be faster as I am lazy.
Wikis are great, Contribute :)
