A holiday present for those who like #RecreationalMath, specifically #RecreationalCombinatorics.
Today on the way to work, I happened to notice that there's a nice, combinatoric-style formula for the first n integers convolved with themselves (e.g., sum((1:4)*(4:1))=20).
Who can find the nicest, combinatoric-style explanation?
