%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 11 2020: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = [x^k] (x - (n - 1)) * Product_{k=1..n-1} (x - (2*k - 1)) for n >= 1 with T(0,0) = 1. (Empty products equal 1.)

%F Let R(n,k) = A039757(n,k) = A039758(n,n-k). Then, for n >= 1:

%F T(n,0) = -(n - 1)*R(n-1,0);

%F T(n,k) = R(n-1,k-1) - (n - 1)*R(n-1,k) for k = 1..n-1;

%F T(n,n) = R(n-1, n-1) = 1.

%F As a result, for n >= 2, T(n,0) = (-1)^n*(n-1)*(2*n-3)!!. (End)
