Take the digits 2, 0, 0 and 3. Make equations equating to all the integers from 1 to 150 using these digits according to the following rules:-

a) The above digits are the only digits to be used and no other digits should appear anywhere in the equation (except on the side where the answer will be).

b) Use of any mathematical symbols are allowed.

c) The digits 2, 0, 0 and 3 should appear in the given order in the equation. e.g - 0 + 2 + 3 + 0 = 5 is not acceptable.

d) When using the mathematical symbols try using the most simplest forms as much as possible.

(In reply to re(2): did it - aka spoiler by Nick Reed)

in the notation for summation, there is actually a (parameter)= on the bottom, which shifts the lower limit (0) further to the right than the upper limit (2). If this doesn't satisfy you, the order of the limits is not important, I can sum from (-)2 to 0 with the same results...
