Sum square difference

The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers 
is, 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385.

The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers 
is, (1 + 2 + ... + 10^2) = 55^2 = 3025.

Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of 
the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum 
is 3025 - 385 = 2640.

Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the 
first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
