FORMULA
a(n) = A008277(n, 5) (Stirling2 triangle).
G.f.: x^5/product(1-k*x, k=1..5).
E.g.f.: ((exp(x)-1)^5)/5!.
a(n) = sum(sum(binomial(k,r)*(15)^(k-r)*sum((-85)^(r-m)*binomial(r,m)*sum(binomial(m,j)*binomial(j,n-m-k-j-r)*(225)^(m-j)*(-274)^(r+m+k+2*j-n)*(120)^(n-m-k-j-r),j,0,m),m,0,r),r,0,k),k,1,n), n>0. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 30 2010
a(n) = det(|s(i+5,j+4)|, 1 <= i,j <= n-5), where s(n,k) are Stirling numbers of the first kind. - Mircea Merca, Apr 06 2013
