gives the sum of the a^\text{th}a
th
powers of the first nn positive numbers, where aa and nn are positive integers. Each of these series can be calculated through a closed-form formula. The case a=1,n=100a=1,n=100 is famously said to have been solved by Gauss as a young schoolboy: given the tedious task of adding the first 100100 positive integers, Gauss quickly used a formula to calculate the sum of 5050.5050.
The formulas for the first few values of aa are as follows:

Faulhaber's formula, which is derived below, provides a generalized formula to compute these sums for any value of a.a.
Manipulations of these sums yield useful results in areas including string theory, quantum mechanics, and complex numbers.
