1. **Problem statement:** Calculate the sum of the sequence of points given: 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, with the operations +1, +2, -3, -4, -5, -6 applied as indicated.
2. **Understanding the sequence and operations:** The points decrease from 15 down to 0 by 1 each step. The operations +1, +2, -3, -4, -5, -6 are added or subtracted at certain points as shown.
3. **Sum the points first:** The sum of integers from 0 to 15 is given by the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
$$\text{Sum} = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$
where $n=15$.
4. Calculate the sum:
$$\text{Sum} = \frac{15 \times (15+1)}{2} = \frac{15 \times 16}{2} = \frac{240}{2} = 120$$
5. **Sum the operations:** The operations are +1, +2, -3, -4, -5, -6.
Calculate their sum:
$$1 + 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 = (1 + 2) - (3 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 3 - 18 = -15$$
6. **Combine the sums:** Add the sum of points and the sum of operations:
$$120 + (-15) = 105$$
7. **Final answer:** The total sum after applying the operations is **105**.
