.
S =    1 +   3 +   5 +   7 + . . . + 201    <<<---=== 101 terms ! 

S =  201 + 199 + 197 + 195 + . . . +   1

---------------------------------------------------------------  Now add the two lines. Yoo will get

2S = 202 + 202 + 202 + 202 + . . . + 202 = 202*101 = 20200.


S = %28202%2A101%29%2F2 = 101%5E2 = 10201.
