A123361 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = coefficient of x^k in the polynomial p[n,x] defined by p[0,x]=1, p[1,x]=1+x and p[n,x]=(1+x)(2-x)(3-x)...(n-x) for n >= 2 (0 <= k <= n). 2

%C Changing the initial conditions in the recursion produces a different triangular sequence. The result here is a variation of Stirling's numbers of the first kind. The Chang and Sederberg version of this recursion produces an even function in sections.
