Someone with a calculator and/or a math god, help me out here:

[Rabrrrrrr]

I need the sum from k=0 to k=47 of k^2.

It's too much to do on paper, and I don't have anything with which to do it.

Can someone crank this out for me, please?

Thanks!

1. I would, but I am fresh out of the brain cells required for that activity.

5. Cool - thanks!

How'd you get that figured out?

7. Microsoft Excel is my friend. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Ah, of course!

I didn't think of doing it that way!

Thanks for the reminder.

3. Do you have a calculator? Do this...

1 squared, M+
2 squared, M+
3 squared, M+

...

47 squared, M+

Then, hit MR.

6. I was feeling too lazy to do that

9. Well

You probably could have done it in your head if you had realized that you only needed to have k in <1,47> instead of <0,47>.

Edited: DU changed my text! Those were square brackets!

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Yeah, you can't do square brackets

since square brackets are read as though they are the <> brackets of html.

And of course, k=0 can be skipped. Smart guy.

11. you're nuts.

math is numbers not letters.

12. You mean,

like e^(pi*i) = -1?
