Looking for an in depth proof to this problem if possible. Must be clear with partial sums

### Series Convergence or Divergence Analysis

Determine whether each of the following series converges or diverges. If the series converges, give its sum. Provide complete and careful proofs of your answers.

\[
\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k, \text{ where } a_k = 
\begin{cases} 
k^2 & \text{if } 1 \leq k \leq 10 \\
0 & \text{if } k > 10 
\end{cases}
\]

(Be clear about the sequence of partial sums.)

### Explanation:
To analyze the convergence or divergence of the given series, we consider the definition of \(a_k\) provided.

1. For \(1 \leq k \leq 10\):
   \[
   a_k = k^2
   \]

2. For \(k > 10\):
   \[
   a_k = 0
   \]

### Sequence of Partial Sums:
To find the partial sums \(S_n\) of the series, sum the terms from \(k=1\) to \(k=n\):
\[
S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k
\]

Given \(a_k\) is non-zero only for \(1 \leq k \leq 10\), the partial sum for \(n \geq 10\) becomes:
\[
S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{10} k^2
\]

Calculating the sum for \(k\) from 1 to 10:
- When \(k = 1\): \(1^2 = 1\)
- When \(k = 2\): \(2^2 = 4\)
- When \(k = 3\): \(3^2 = 9\)
- When \(k = 4\): \(4^2 = 16\)
- When \(k = 5\): \(5^2 = 25\)
- When \(k = 6\): \(6^2 = 36\)
- When \(k = 7\): \(7^2 = 49\)
- When \(k = 8\): \(8^2 = 64\)
- When \(k = 9\): \(9^2 = 81\)
- When \(k =
