We are asked to evaluate the summation of the expression $n-1$ from $n=c_1$ to $\xi$. It is likely that $c_1$ represents a constant and $\xi$ refers to infinity. Thus, we want to evaluate $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (n-1)$.

1. Problem Description

We are asked to evaluate the summation of the expression n1n-1 from n=c1n=c_1 to ξ\xi. It is likely that c1c_1 represents a constant and ξ\xi refers to infinity. Thus, we want to evaluate n=1(n1)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (n-1).

2. Solution Steps

The summation can be rewritten as:
n=1(n1)=n=1nn=11\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (n-1) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n - \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1
The sum n=1n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n is the sum of all positive integers, which diverges to infinity.
The sum n=11\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1 is also a divergent series.
We can write out the first few terms of the series:
When n=1n=1, n1=11=0n-1 = 1-1 = 0.
When n=2n=2, n1=21=1n-1 = 2-1 = 1.
When n=3n=3, n1=31=2n-1 = 3-1 = 2.
When n=4n=4, n1=41=3n-1 = 4-1 = 3.
So, the series is 0+1+2+3+...0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + ..., which is equivalent to the sum of all non-negative integers.
Since the terms of the sequence (n1)(n-1) do not converge to 0 as nn approaches infinity, the series n=1(n1)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (n-1) diverges.
Specifically, n=1N(n1)=n=0N1n=(N1)(N1+1)2=(N1)N2\sum_{n=1}^{N} (n-1) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} n = \frac{(N-1)(N-1+1)}{2} = \frac{(N-1)N}{2}.
As NN goes to infinity, this expression also goes to infinity.

3. Final Answer

The series diverges to infinity.
