The pFqToStandardFunctions(f, k=m..n) command computes a closed form of the definite sum of f over the specified range of k by first converting the specified sum into hypergeometric functions. If possible, the output is then converted to standard functions.

If _EnvFormal is assigned true, the command computes the result in the sense of analytic continuation. Otherwise, the command computes the closed form in the domain of convergence (see hypergeom ).
