An algebra problem by Manish Dash

Algebra Level 5

Let S k = k = 1 , 2 , . . . . . . . . , 100 { S }_{ k }\quad =\quad k\quad =\quad 1,2,........,100 , denote the sum of the infinite geometric series whose first term is k 1 k ! \frac { k-1 }{ k! } and the common ratio is 1 k \frac { 1 }{ k } . Then the value of 100 2 100 ! + k = 1 100 ( k 2 3 k + 1 ) S k \frac { { 100 }^{ 2 } }{ 100! } \quad +\quad \sum _{ k=1 }^{ 100 } \left| ({ k }^{ 2 }-3k+1){ S }_{ k } \right| is:
