Sum-class symbol
Sum-class symbols, or accumulation symbols, are symbols whose sub- and superscripts appear directly below and above the symbol rather than beside it. For example, the following example illustrates that \sum is one of
these elite symbols whereas \Sigma is not. The terminology from AMS-LaTeX documentation.

Using sum
LaTeX markup...
...results in:
the \limits tag puts the limits below and above the sigma symbol. It is typically used in equations
the \nolimits tag puts the limits on the right of the sigma symbol. It is typically used in the math wired in the text
TeX is smart enough to only show \sum in its expanded form in the displaymath environment. In the regular math environment, \sum does the right thing and revert to non-sum-class behavior, thus conserving vertical space.
Using prod
Another common sum-class symbol is \prod. As in \sum we can use the directive \limits or \nolimits in order to show the limits on top-down or on the right.
LaTeX markup...
\prod\limits_{i=1}^n x = x^n

Hyperbolic functions
The abbreviations arcsinh, arccosh, etc., are commonly used for inverse hyperbolic trigonometric functions (area hyperbolic functions),
even though they are misnomers, since the prefix arc is the abbreviation for arcus, while the prefix ar stands for area.
