From Jon E. Schoenfield, Aug 17 2014: (Start)
Evaluating the partial sums
Sum_{k=1..j} 2*(1 + x_k ^ 2)^(-3/2)
(where x_k is the k-th root of tan(t)=t; see the Mathworld link) at j = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ..., it becomes apparent that they approach
c0 + c2/j^2 + c3/j^3 + c4/j^4 + ...
where
c0 = 0.02825176416006793787321073299629898515427...
and c2 and c3 are -4/Pi^3 and 16/Pi^3, respectively.
(The k-th root of tan(t)=t is
r - d_1/r - d_2/r^3 - d_3/r^5 - d_4/r^7 - d_5/r^9 - ...
where r = (k+1/2) * Pi and d_j = A079330(j)/A088989(j).) (End)
d_n = A079330(n)/A088989(n) ~ Gamma(1/3) / (2^(2/3) * 3^(1/6) * Pi^(5/3)) * (Pi/2)^(2*n) / n^(4/3). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 19 2014

Name was "Positive integers n with |tan n| > n." before signs were added. The sign here shows whether tan(|n|) is positive or negative.
That this sequence is infinite was proved by Bellamy, Lagarias and Lazebnik. It seems not to be known whether there are infinitely many n with tan n > n.
At approximately 2.37e154, there is a value of n which has tan(n)/n > 556. - Phil Carmody, Mar 04 2007 [This is index 214 in the b-file.]
As n increases, log(|a(n)|)/n seems to approach Pi/2; this is similar to what would be expected if an integer sequence were created by drawing many random numbers independently from a uniform distribution on the interval [-Pi/2,+Pi/2] and including in the sequence only those integers j for which the j-th random number x_j happened to satisfy |x_j| < 1/j (and applying to j the sign of x_j). - Jon E. Schoenfield, Aug 19 2014; updated Nov 07 2014 to reflect the change in the sequence's Name)
