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.

Formula

T(n, k) = k^n - Sum_{i=0..k-1} binomial(n, i)*(i+1)^(i-1)*(k-i-1)^(n-i).
T(n, k) = Sum_{i=k..n} (-1)^(n-i)*binomial(n, i)*(i+1)^(i-1)*(i-k+1)^(n-i).
