Molien series for 4-dimensional representation of S_4 [Nebe, Rains, Sloane, Chap. 7].
Also number of pure 2-complexes on 4 nodes with n multiple 2-simplexes. - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 27 1999
Also number of different integer triangles with perimeter <= n+3. Also number of different scalene integer triangles with perimeter <= n+9. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 12 2002
a(n) is the coefficient of q^n in the expansion of (m choose 4)_q as m goes to infinity. - Y. Kelly Itakura (yitkr(AT)mta.ca), Aug 21 2002
Also number of partitions of n into parts <= 4. a(n) = A026820(n,4), for n > 3. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 21 2010
Number of different distributions of n+10 identical balls in 4 boxes as x,y,z,p where 0 < x < y < z < p. - Ece Uslu and Esin Becenen, Jan 11 2016
Number of partitions of 5n+8 or 5n+12 into 4 parts (+-) 3 mod 5. a(4) = 5 partitions of 28: [7,7,7,7], [12,7,7,2], [12,12,2,2], [17,7,2,2], [22,2,2,2]. a(3) = 3 partitions of 27: [8,8,8,3], [13,8,3,3], [18,3,3,3]. - Richard Turk, Feb 24 2016

Examples

			(4 choose 4)_q = 1, (5 choose 4)_q = q^4 + q^3 + q^2 + q + 1, (6 choose 4)_q = q^8 + q^7 + 2*q^6 + 2*q^5 + 3*q^4 + 2*q^3 + 2*q^2 + q + 1, (7 choose 4) = q^12 + q^11 + 2*q^10 + 3*q^9 + 4*q^8 + 4*q^7 + 5*q^6 + 4*q^5 + 4*q^4 + 3*q^3 + 2*q^2 + q + 1 so the coefficient of q^0 converges to 1, q^1 to 1, q^2 to 2 and so on.
G.f. = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 6*x^5 + 9*x^6 + 11*x^7 + ...
