COMMENTS

a(n) appears to be a multiple of A046990(n) (checked up to n=250). - R. Stephan, Mar 30 2004

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), May 24 2009: (Start)

The Taylor series for tan(x) appears to be identical to the quotient of the 'look-a-likes' of the numerator and denominator, i.e. A160469(n)/A156769(n).

FORMULA

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), May 24 2009: (Start)

a(n) = numer((-1)^(n-1)*2^(2*n)*(2^(2*n)-1)* bernoulli(2*n)/(2*n)!)

(End)

EXAMPLE

tan(x) = x + 2 x^3/3! + 16 x^5/5! + 272 x^7/7! + ... = x + 1/3*x^3 + 2/15*x^5 + 17/315*x^7 + 62/2835*x^9 + O(x^10).

tanh(x) = x - 1/3*x^3 + 2/15*x^5 - 17/315*x^7 + 62/2835*x^9 - 1382/155925*x^11 + ...
