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.

A081441 a(n) = (2*n^3 - n^2 - n + 2)/2.

Formula

G.f.: (1 -4*x +11*x^2 -8*x^3)/(1-x)^5.
a(n) = (n + 1)*(2*n^2 - 3*n + 2)/2 = (n-1)*A005564(n+1) - n*A005564(n), where A005564(0..2) = 0, -1, 0. - Bruno Berselli, May 19 2015
E.g.f.: (2 + 5*x^2 + 2*x^3)*exp(x)/2. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 14 2019
