FORMULA

a(n) = n*(9n+5)/2

a(n)=9*n+a(n-1)-2 with a(0)=0 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]

EXAMPLE

The spiral begins:

..........15

........16..14

......17..3...13

....18..4...2...12

..19..5...0...1...11

20..6...7...8...9...10

a(1)=9*1+0-2=7; a(2)=9*2+7-2=23; a(3)=9*3+23-2=48 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]

MATHEMATICA

s=0; lst={s}; Do[s+=n++ +7; AppendTo[lst, s], {n, 0, 7!, 9}]; lst [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Nov 16 2008]
