Is it possible to rewrite this sum in terms of some power series?

Is it possible to rewrite this sum in terms of some power series, maybe some cosine power series? $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^{2n}}{2^{2n}(n!)^2}$$

it's possible to invert summation/ series limits?

If the summation just sum every term i was thinking that for instance 1+2+3+4 = 4+3+2+1 so why this $$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (3i)\ = \sum\limits_{i=n}^{1} (3i) $$ is not true ? And how i can ...

Given the following summation is there a way to combine given the following orientation?

I have the following summation: \begin{equation}\sum_{n=2}^\infty c_n(n)(n-1)(x-1)^{n-2}+(x+1)\sum_{n=1}^\infty nc_n(x-1)^{n-1}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty nc_n(x-1)^{n-1}+(x+1)^2\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n(x-1)^n +2(...

Evaluating a finite sum with square roots and simple powers. + The integral of floor(x^2) + The integral of the fractional part of x^2

I was recently integrating the floor of $x^2$ and had almost finished it, however this finite Sum was left unevaluated. $$\frac{1}{3}\sum_{i=1}^{\lfloor x^2 \rfloor} {\Biggl(\Bigl(\sqrt{(i-1)}\Bigr)(...

Closed-form summation of $\sum_{i=1}^n i\frac{x^i}{i!}$

Is there any way to find the closed-form of this finite summation, knowing that x<1? It is part of a larger equation that I am trying to solve/simplify, which has proven to use a lot of theory that ...
