cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

Denominators in the expansion of cos(x): cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + x^8/8! - ...
Contribution from Peter Bala, Feb 21 2011: (Start)
We may compare the representation a(n) = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (n*(n+1)-k*(k+1)) with n! = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (n-k). Thus we may view a(n) as a generalized factorial function associated with the oblong numbers A002378. Cf. A000680.
The associated generalized binomial coefficients a(n)/(a(k)*a(n-k)) are triangle A086645, cf. A186432. (End)
Also, this sequence is the denominator of cosh(x) = (e^x + e^(-x))/2 = 1 + x^2/2! + x^4/4! + x^6/6! + ... - Mohammad K. Azarian, Jan 19 2012
Also (2n+1)-th derivative of arccoth(x) at x = 0. - Michel Lagneau, Aug 18 2012
Product of the partition parts of 2n+1 into exactly two positive integer parts, n > 0. Example: a(3) = 720, since 2(3)+1 = 7 has 3 partitions with exactly two positive integer parts: (6,1), (5,2), (4,3). Multiplying the parts in these partitions gives: 6! = 720. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 03 2013
