FORMULA

REVERT(A014103). a(n) = -(-1)^n * A195130(n).

EXAMPLE

x - 24*x^2 + 852*x^3 - 35744*x^4 + 1645794*x^5 - 80415216*x^6 + 4094489992*x^7 + ...

a[ n_] := If[ n < 1, 0, SeriesCoefficient[ InverseSeries[ Series[ q Product[ 1 + q^k, {k, n}]^24, {q, 0, n}], x], {x, 0, n}]] (* Michael Somos, Sep 11 2011 *)
