Formula
See Davis, Vol. 2, p. 206, second displayed equation, where a(n) appears as c_{2k}. Note that the recurrence for c_{2k} involves an extra term c_1 = 1 (which is not a term of the present sequence), and also the numbers M_i^{2k} given in A266743. However, given that contemporary Computer Algebra Systems can easily calculate Bernoulli numbers, and A002444 has a simple formula, the best way to compute a(n) today is via a(n) = A002444(n)*|B_{2n}|. - N.
