Jan 24 at 15:35 comment added Iosif Pinelis @mathworker21 : Let me rephrase (i): where using $N$ instead of $n$ is not an advantage, why use $N$ instead of $n$? Does this question sound reasonable to you? In your example, using $N$ along with $n$ does seem an advantage, and there using $n$ in place of $N$ would certainly not do. In contrast, in the OP on this page, using $n$ in place of $N$ certainly works quite well. So, your example is about something that I never said or meant.
Jan 24 at 6:09 comment added mathworker21 @IosifPinelis lol. (i) is not a reason, just a restatement. In analytic number theory, one will often sum over $n$ in the range $n \in [N,2N)$, and will write $n \sim N$ as shorthand, in the bottom of the summation. It is very useful (psychologically, of course) to have lower case letters be of the same size as their upper case counterparts.

Jan 24 at 3:28 comment added Iosif Pinelis Do not use $N$ where $n$ will do. I have edited accordingly.
