I am okay, just that school assignments and exams don't leave much time for olympiad prep also, let alone Brilliant. Tomorrow also I have History exam. :(
LOL this question was repeated in IOQM, and I forgot the solution, I had to solve it again. BTW, @Aryan Sanghi , how was your IOQM?

The sum can be written as:
S = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 1 + n 2 1 + ( n + 1 ) 2 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 + n 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 n 2 ( n 2 + n + 1 + n ) + ( n 2 + n + 1 + n ) + n 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n 2 + n + 1 ) ( n 2 + 1 ) + n 3 + n + n 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n 2 + n + 1 ) ( n 2 + 1 ) + n ( n 2 + n + 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n 2 + n + 1 ) 2 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n ( n + 1 ) n 2 + n + 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 n 2 + n n 2 + n + 1 = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 ( 1 + n ( n + 1 ) 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ 2 0 1 9 ( 1 + n 1 − n + 1 1 ) = 2 0 1 9 + 1 − 2 0 2 0 1 = 2 0 2 0 − 2 0 2 0 1
Thank you for sharing your solution Sir! Very similar to @Aryan Sanghi 's solution, but I think there is no more method, or is there?
Ooh, good manipulation!

Let r t h term be T r . So,
T r = 1 + r 2 1 + ( r + 1 ) 2 1
T r = ( r ) 2 ( r + 1 ) 2 ( r ) 2 ( r + 1 ) 2 + ( r + 1 ) 2 + ( r ) 2 )
T r = r ( r + 1 ) r 4 + 2 r 3 + 3 r 2 + 2 r + 1
T r = r ( r + 1 ) ( r 2 + r + 1 ) 2
T r = r ( r + 1 ) ( r 2 + r + 1 )
T r = 1 + r ( r + 1 ) 1
T r = 1 + r 1 − r + 1 1
So, sum is
S = T 1 + T 2 + T 3 + … + T 2 0 1 8 + T 2 0 1 9
S = ( 1 + 1 1 − 2 1 ) + ( 1 + 2 1 − 3 1 ) + ( 1 + 3 1 − 4 1 ) + … + ( 1 + 2 0 1 8 1 − 2 0 1 9 1 ) + ( 1 + 2 0 1 9 1 − 2 0 2 0 1 )
S = 2 0 2 0 − 2 0 2 0 1
