+# Difference Of Squares
+
+Find the difference between the sum of the squares and the square of the sums of the first N natural numbers.
+
+The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
+
+    (1 + 2 + ... + 10)**2 = 55**2 = 3025
+
+The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
+
+    1**2 + 2**2 + ... + 10**2 = 385
+
+Hence the difference between the square of the sum of the first
+ten natural numbers and the sum of the squares is 2640:
+
+    3025 - 385 = 2640
+
+To run the tests simply run the command `go test` in the exercise directory.
+
+If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench`
+flag:
+
+    go test -bench .
+
+For more detailed info about the Go track see the [help
+page](http://exercism.io/languages/go).
