FORMULA

T(n,k) = [q^(nk-k)] Product_{i=1..n} { (1-q^i)/(1-q) }^2 for n>0, with T(0,0)=1.

EXAMPLE

Definition of q-factorial of n:

faq(n,q) = Product_{k=1..n} (1-q^k)/(1-q) for n>0, with faq(0,q)=1.

Obtain row 4 from coefficients in the squared q-factorial of 4:

faq(4,q)^2 = 1*(1 + q)^2*(1 + q + q^2)^2*(1 + q + q^2 + q^3)^2

= (1 + 3*q + 5*q^2 + 6*q^3 + 5*q^4 + 3*q^5 + q^6)^2;

the resulting coefficients of q are:

[(1), 6, 19, (42), 71, 96, (106), 96, 71, (42), 19, 6, (1)],

where the terms enclosed in parenthesis form row 4.
