The sequence \(a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots\) is such that, for all positive integers \(n\),
\(a_{n}=\frac{n+5}{\sqrt{ }\left(n^{2}-n+1\right)}-\frac{n+6}{\sqrt{ }\left(n^{2}+n+1\right)} .\)

The sum \(\sum_{n=1}^{N} a_{n}\) is denoted by \(S_{N}\). Find
(i) the value of \(S_{30}\) correct to 3 decimal places,

(ii) the least value of \(N\) for which \(S_{N}\gt 4.9\).
