FORMULA
a(n)=a(n-2)+(n-2)!(n*floor(n/2)-1) for n>=3; a(1)=a(2)=1.
Conjecture D-finite with recurrence a(n) +a(n-1) -n*(n-2)*a(n-2) -(2*n-3)*(n-2)*a(n-3) -(n-2)*(n-3)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 22 2022
MAPLE
a[1]:=1: a[2]:=1: for n from 3 to 23 do a[n]:=a[n-2]+(n-2)!*(n*floor(n/2)-1) od: seq(a[n], n=1..23);
