group them by twos...
s=(1^2-2^2)+ (3^2-4^2) + ...
you should recognize this as a difference oftwo squares, the value of which is the sum of the numbers or
s= -3 -7 -11 ...
This is an arithmetic sequence, the sum is easily found. Now add 2007^2.
Or you can group them differently, which can make it even easier. Experiment.
