COMMENTS

Comment from David W. Wilson, May 26 2007: If you look at the MathWorld article on Tangent Numbers, this sequence seems to give the initial terms of the sequences given in the table at the bottom of the article, which, in the nomenclature of the article, would translate to a(n) = d(n, 1) where d(a,n) is defined in equation (4), taken from the Shanks reference.
