FORMULA
a(n) = C(n,n-1)*C(n+1,n-2)*C(n+2,n-3)*C(n+3,n-4)/(10*4!), n >= 4 . - Zerinvary Lajos, May 29 2007
a(n-4) = (1/3456)*Sum_{1 <= x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 <= n} (det V(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4))^2 = (1/3456)*Sum_{1 <= i,j,k,l <= n} ((i-j)(i-k)(i-l)(j-k)(j-l)(k-l))^2, where V(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) is the Vandermonde matrix of order 4. - Peter Bala, Sep 21 2007
