An explicit formula for sums of powers of integers in terms of Stirling numbers
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 20 (2017) no. 4
In this note we present an explicit formula for the sum of powers of the first $n$ terms of a general arithmetic sequence in terms of Stirling numbers. We then provide an algorithm for calculating the sum of consecutive powers of integers.
