Here are many proofs for the Theory that $1+2+3+...+n+1+2+3...+(n-1)=n^2$

PROOF 1: $1+2+3+...+n+1+2+3...+(n-1)=n^2$, Hence $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}=n^2$. If you dont get that go to Proof without words. If you conbine the fractions you get $\frac{n(n+1)+n(n-1)}{2}$. Then Multiply: $\frac{n^2+n+n^2-n}{2}$. Finnaly the $n$'s in the numorator cancel leaving us with $\frac{n^2+n^2}{2}=n^2$. I think you can finish the proof from there.
