FORMULA

a(2*n+1) = (2*n+1)!! - (2*n)!!

EXAMPLE

a(1)=0, since 1!! - 0!! = 1 - 1 = 0, where the usual convention 0!! = 1 has been heeded. Note that 1 is the first nonnegative odd and 0 the first nonnegative even number.

a(4)=57, since 7!! - 6!! = 1*3*5*7 - 6*4*2*1 = 105 - 48 = 57.

MAPLE

for n from 1 to 24 do: l[n]:=product(2*k-1, k=1..n); od: r[1]:=1; for n from 2 to 24 do: r[n]:=product(2*k, k=1..n-1); od; for k from 1 to 24 do: a[k]:=l[k]-r[k]; od;
