Programs

Maple

M:=n->(2/(2*n+1)!)*int(t*product(t^2-k^2,k=1..n),t=0..1): A:=n->((n+1)/2)*M(n)+(2*n+2)*M(n+1): seq(numer(A(n)),n=0..18); # Emeric Deutsch, Jan 25 2005

Mathematica

M[n_] := (2/(2n+1)!) Integrate[t Product[t^2-k^2, {k, 1, n}], {t, 0, 1}];
A[n_] := ((n+1)/2) M[n] + (2n+2) M[n+1];
Table[Numerator[A[n]], {n, 0, 18}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 04 2021, after Maple code *)

Formula

a(n) is the numerator of ((n+1)/2)M(n) + (2n+2)M(n+1), where M(n) = (2/(2n+1)!)*Integral_{t=0..1} (t*Product_{k=1..n} (t^2 - k^2)). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 25 2005
