How to solve sum of nth term using integration

Recall from my proposition

Sn = n/(n − 1) ∫ Tm dm,
1 ≤ m ≤ m

Where Tm = mth term of any linear progression

Sm = sum of the mth term of the progression

Worked Example

Evaluate
1 + 5 + 9 + ... + (4m − 3)

Here Tm = 4m − 3

Sm = m/(m − 1) ∫ (4m − 3) dm,
1 ≤ m ≤ m

Sm = m/(m − 1) x [(2m² − 3m) − (2 − 3)]

Sm = m/(m − 1) x [ 2m² − 3m + 1]

Sm = m/(m − 1) x (m − 1)(2m − 1)

Sm = m(2m − 1) ___________ that's the sum

Begin your day with a plan, I started mine with maths.
