Since 3*r = (r+1) + r + (r-1) = T(r+1) - T(r-2), where T(r) = r-th triangular number r*(r+1)/2, we have 3*r^2 = r*(T(r+1) - T(r-2)) = f(r+1) - f(r-1) ... (i), where f(r) = (r-1)*T(r) = (r+1)*T(r-1). Summing over n, the right hand side of relation (i) telescopes to f(n+1) + f(n) = T(n)*((n+2) + (n-1)), whence the result Sum_{r=1..n} r^2 = n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 immediately follows. - Lekraj Beedassy, Aug 06 2004

The n-th square pyramidal number = the n-th triangular dipyramidal number (Johnson 12), which is the sum of the n-th + (n-1)-st tetrahedral numbers. E.g., the 3rd tetrahedral number is 10 = 1+3+6, the 2nd is 4 = 1+3. In triangular "dipyramidal form" these numbers can be written as 1+3+6+3+1 = 14. For "square pyramidal form", rebracket as 1+(1+3)+(3+6) = 14. - John F. Richardson, Mar 27 2014

We construct a number triangle from the integers 1, 2, 3, ..., n as follows. The first column contains 2*n-1 integers 1. The second column contains 2*n-3 integers 2, ... The last column contains only one integer n. The sum of all the numbers in the triangle is a(n).
Here is an example with n = 5:

Conjecture: Every integer can be represented as a sum of three generalized square pyramidal numbers. A related conjecture is given in A336205 corresponding to pentagonal case. A stronger version of these conjectures is that every integer can be expressed as a sum of three generalized r-gonal pyramidal numbers for all r >= 3. In here "generalized" means negative indices are included. - Altug Alkan, Jul 30 2020

Also the number of directed bishop moves on an n X n chessboard, where two moves are considered the same if one can be obtained from the other by a rotation of the board. Reflections are ignored. Equivalently, number of directed bishop moves on an n X n chessboard, where two moves are considered the same if one can be obtained from the other by an axial reflection of the board (horizontal or vertical). Rotations and diagonal reflections are ignored. - Hilko Koning, Aug 22 2025

Note that when starting from a(n)^2, equality holds between series of first n+1 and next n consecutive squares: a(n)^2 + (a(n) + 1)^2 + ... + (a(n) + n)^2 = (a(n) + n + 1)^2 + (a(n) + n + 2)^2 + ... + (a(n) + 2*n)^2; e.g., 10^2 + 11^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 + 14^2. - Henry Bottomley, Jan 22 2001; with typos fixed by Zak Seidov, Sep 10 2015
a(n) = sum of second set of n consecutive even numbers - sum of the first set of n consecutive odd numbers: a(1) = 4-1, a(3) = (8+10+12) - (1+3+5) = 21. - Amarnath Murthy, Nov 07 2002
Partial sums of odd numbers 3 mod 4, that is, 3, 3+7, 3+7+11, ... See A001107. - Jon Perry, Dec 18 2004
If Y is a fixed 3-subset of a (2n+1)-set X then a(n) is the number of (2n-1)-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan Janjic, Oct 28 2007
More generally (see the first comment), for n > 0, let b(n,k) = a(n) + k*(4*n + 1). Then b(n,k)^2 + (b(n,k) + 1)^2 + ... + (b(n,k) + n)^2 = (b(n,k) + n + 1 + 2*k)^2 + ... + (b(n,k) + 2*n + 2*k)^2 + k^2; e.g., if n = 3 and k = 2, then b(n,k) = 47 and 47^2 + ... + 50^2 = 55^2 + ... + 57^2 + 2^2. - Charlie Marion, Jan 01 2011

a(n) is the area of a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (2*n+1, 2*n), and ((2*n+1)^2, 4*n^2). - Art Baker, Dec 12 2018
This sequence is the largest subsequence of A000217 such that gcd(a(n), 2*n) = a(n) mod (2*n) = n, n > 0 up to a given value of n. It is the interleave of A033585 (a(n) is even) and A033567 (a(n) is odd). - Torlach Rush, Sep 09 2019
A generalization of Hasler's Comment (Jul 03 2018) follows. Let P(k,n) be the n-th k-gonal number. Then for k > 1, partial sums of {P(k,n)} with alternating signs, ending in an even term, = n*((k-2)*n + 1). - Charlie Marion, Mar 02 2021
Let U_n(H) = {A in M_n(H): A*A^H = I_n} be the group of n X n unitary matrices over the quaternions (A^H is the conjugate transpose of A. Note that over the quaternions we still have A*A^H = I_n <=> A^H*A = I_n by mapping A and A^H to (2n) X (2n) complex matrices), then a(n) is the dimension of its Lie algebra u_n(H) = {A in M_n(H): A + A^H = 0} as a real vector space. A basis is given by {(E_{st}-E_{ts}), i*(E_{st}+E_{ts}), j*(E_{st}+E_{ts}), k*(E_{st}+E_{ts}): 1 <= s < t <= n} U {i*E_{tt}, j*E_{tt}, k*E_{tt}: t = 1..n}, where E_{st} is the matrix with all entries zero except that its (st)-entry is 1. - Jianing Song, Apr 05 2021

This sequence is related to A045944 by a(n) = n*A045944(n)-Sum_{i=0..n-1} A045944(i); this is the case d=6 in the identity n^2*(d*n+d-2)/2 - sum(k*(d*k+d-2)/2, k=0..n-1) = n*(n+1)*(2*d*n+d-3)/6 . - Bruno Berselli, Nov 19 2010
