The i t h i^{th} term of the series is 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + . . . + i 2 = 2 i 3 + 3 i 2 + i 6 1^2+2^2+3^2+...+i^2=\dfrac{2i^3+3i^2+i}{6} . So S n = S_n= sum of first n n terms of the series is n ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n + 2 ) 12 \dfrac{n(n+1)^2(n+2)}{12} . Therefore the sum of the first 1000 1000 terms is 83667083500 \boxed {83667083500}

the sum will be "a sigma of sigmas"

the nth term will beUn = ∑n² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6

S(n) = ∑Un = ∑n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = n(n+1)²(n+2)/12

S(1000) = 83666083500

S = 1 2 + ( 1 2 + 2 2 ) + ( 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 ) + + ( 1 2 + 2 2 + + 100 0 2 ) = 1000 × 1 2 + 999 × 2 2 + 998 × 3 2 + + 1 × 100 0 2 = n = 1 1000 ( 1001 n ) n 2 = 1001 n = 1 1000 n 2 n = 1 1000 n 3 = 1001 × 1000 ( 1001 ) ( 2001 ) 6 ( 1000 ( 1001 ) 2 ) 2 = 83667083500 \begin{aligned} S & = 1^2 + (1^2+2^2) + (1^2+2^2+3^2) + \cdots + (1^2+2^2 + \cdots + 1000^2) \\ & = 1000\times 1^2 + 999 \times 2^2 + 998 \times 3^2 + \cdots + 1\times 1000^2 \\ & = \sum_{n=1}^{1000} (1001-n)n^2 \\ & = 1001 \sum_{n=1}^{1000} n^2 - \sum_{n=1}^{1000} n^3 \\ & = 1001 \times \frac {1000(1001)(2001)}6 - \left(\frac {1000(1001)}2\right)^2 \\ & = \boxed{83667083500} \end{aligned}
