How does one sum a series of columns?

=SUM(<column_range>). [Note the = prefix, if you are used to one of the spreadsheet programs that does not require it.] If you mean to sum all of the column totals, then
    =SUM(row_range)
if all totals are in the same row, otherwise
    = column_A_total + column_B_total + column_C_total + ...
[Note that you can name any or all of the totals, but I use the terms "column_x_total" generically.]

Also, Ho does one multiply two columns?

Do you mean the scalar product of a matrix? If so, SUMPRODUCT() could be what you are talking about. If not, post again.
