FORMULA
a(n) = determinant of n X n matrix of first n^2 nonzero terms of A000217(k) for k>0. a(n) = determinant of n X n matrix of k*(k+1)/2 for k from 1 through n^2.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = -27 =
|.1..3..6|
|10.15.21|
|28.36.45|.
a(4) = 0 because of the singular matrix 0 =
|.1...3...6..10|
|15..21..28..36|
|45..55..66..78|
|91.105.120.136|.
