-a(n+1), n>=0, also numerators from e.g.f. 1/x-1/ln(1+x), with denominators A075178(n). |a(n+1)|, n>=0, numerators from e.g.f. 1/x+1/ln(1-x) with denominators A075178(n). For formula of unsigned a(n) see A075178.

The signed rationals a(n)/A006233(n) provide the a-sequence for the Stirling2 Sheffer matrix A048993. See the W. Lang link concerning Sheffer a- and z-sequences.

Cauchy numbers of the first type are also called Bernoulli numbers of the second kind.
