Problem Statement

The nthn^{th} term of a sequence is tnt_n. For n1n \ge 1, tnt_n is given by the relation: tn=n3+12n2+13n+14t_n= n^3+\frac12 n^2+ \frac13 n + \frac14 The nthn^{th} term of a second sequence TnT_n, where TnT_n represents the smallest integer greater than tnt_n. Calculate: (T1+T2+...+T1014)(t1+t2+...+t1014)(T_1+T_2+...+T_{1014}) -(t_1+t_2+...+t_{1014})
