sum of squares 1..n = n(n+1)(2n+1)/2
sum of squares 1..10 = 385

integral of n^2 = (n^3)/3
intergral from 1 to 10 = 1000/3 - 1/3 = 333

shouldn't the integral give the sum or something?

What you meant to say is 4, dumbass.  The area of any of the finite regions described and bounded by sin(x) and the x-axis is two.  2+2=4; in other words, the absolute value of the integral from 0 to π of sin(x), plus the absolute value of the integral from π to 2π of sin(x), is four.
