This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Two samples of size n are taken from an urn containing infinitely many marbles of n distinct colors. a(n)/n^(2*n) is the probability that the two samples match. That is, they contain the same number of each color of marbles without regard to order. - Geoffrey Critzer, Apr 19 2014

Formula

a(n) is coefficient of x^n in expansion of n!^2*(1 + x/1!^2 + x^2/2!^2 + x^3/3!^2 + ... + x^n/n!^2)^n. - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 09 2000
