Let $a_0,a_1,a_2,...,a_{2011}$ is a series defined as \[a_n=\frac{n}{2011}\; \; for\; \; n\ge 0\]
Compute the sum \[\sum_{k=0}^{2011}\; \frac{a_k^3}{1-3a_k+3a_k^2}\]
Without using calculator or computer.
(It's one of the coolest APMO problems.Actually I needed only $5$ minutes to solve.So I think it will be a easy problem for Higher Secondary.)
