Answer

To solve the given integral equation, we will follow a systematic approach. The equation we need to evaluate is:

\[ \int_0^1 \left( \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{x}{x^2 + r^2} \right) \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (x^2 + r^2) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \left( \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (1 + r^2) - k^2 \right) \]

### Step 1: Define the integral

Let:
\[ T = \int_0^1 \left( \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{x}{x^2 + r^2} \right) \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (x^2 + r^2) \, dx \]

### Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the integral

We can express \(T\) as:
\[ T = \int_0^1 \left( \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{x}{x^2 + r^2} \prod_{s=1}^{2013} (x^2 + s^2) \right) \, dx \]

### Step 3: Use properties of logarithms

Taking the logarithm of the product:
\[ \log T = \log \left( \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (x^2 + r^2) \right) = \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \log(x^2 + r^2) \]

### Step 4: Differentiate

Differentiating both sides with respect to \(x\):
\[ \frac{1}{T} \frac{dT}{dx} = \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{2x}{x^2 + r^2} \]

### Step 5: Rearranging the equation

This gives us:
\[ dT = T \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{2x}{x^2 + r^2} \, dx \]

### Step 6: Integrate

Integrate \(dT\) from \(0\) to \(1\):
\[ T = \int_0^1 T \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \frac{2x}{x^2 + r^2} \, dx \]

### Step 7: Evaluate the integral

We can evaluate the integral:
\[ \int_0^1 \frac{x}{x^2 + r^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \log(1 + r^2) \]

### Step 8: Substitute back into the equation

Now substituting back into the equation:
\[ T = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{r=1}^{2013} \log(1 + r^2) \]

### Step 9: Compare with the given equation

Now we can compare this expression with the right-hand side of the original equation:
\[ \frac{1}{2} \left( \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (1 + r^2) - k^2 \right) \]

### Step 10: Solve for \(k\)

From the comparison, we can find \(k\):
\[ k^2 = \prod_{r=1}^{2013} (1 + r^2) - T \]

### Final Result

After evaluating and simplifying, we find that:
\[ k = \sqrt{\prod_{r=1}^{2013} r^2} = 2013! \]

Thus, the value of \(k\) is:
\[ \boxed{2013!} \]
