%F Product_{k>=1} (1+a(k)*x^k) = 1 + Sum_{k>=1} k^2*x^k. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Jun 24 2018

%e From the perfect squares, construct the series 1+x+4x^2+9x^3+16x^4+25x^5+... a(1) is always the coefficient of x, here 1. Divide by (1+a(1)x), i.e. here (1+x), to get the quotient (1+a(2)x^2+...), which here gives a(2)=4. Then divide this quotient by (1+a(2)x^2), i.e. here (1+4x^2), to get (1+a(3)x^3+...), giving a(3)=5.
