%N Triangle T(n,k) read by rows: coefficient [x^(n-k)] of the characteristic polynomial of the n X n matrix A(r,c)=1 (if c > r) and A(r,c)=c (if c <= r).
%C The building matrices A(r,c) have the form [[1,1,1,...],[1,2,1,1,1...],[1,2,3,1,1,...],...,[1,2,3,4,...,n]].
%C Their determinant and the product of the roots of their characteristic polynomial is (n-1)!.
%F Sum_{k=0..n} |T(n,k)| = A000522(n).
%e First few characteristic polynomials are:
%e 1;
%e x - 1;
%e x^2 - 3x + 1;
