We have a formula for the sums of integers (one-th powers)1+2+3+...+N, and a formula for the sums of cubes 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + .. + N^3. Here, at last, is a video deriving the formula for the sum of squares 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + ... + N^2 using just simple techniques. We then end with some big questions about all these formulas.
