How do we find the formula for quadertic sequences?

A quadratic sequence is a series of terms that respect the
following:


1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, ......, n^2,
....


We'll consider n terms of the quadratic sequence and
we'll calculate their sum:


1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + ... + n^2 = S
(1)


We know that the formula for the squares of the first
terms of the sum is:


S =
n(n+1)(2n+1)/6


Now, we can have any number of terms of the
quadratic series, we'll also be able to determine their sum.

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
