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?

Right. My mistake. No need to call me a dumbass.

The point I was TRYING to make was that calling the integral of something the area of said function is misleading and mostly wrong.
