Partial sums of A036410.
There are several sequences of integers of the form ceiling(n^2/k) for whose partial sums we can establish identities as following (only for k = 2,...,8,10,11,12, 14,15,16,19,20,23,24).

FORMULA
a(n) = round((2*n+1)*(2*n^2 + 2*n + 41)/144).
a(n) = floor((n+1)*(2*n^2 + n + 41)/72).
a(n) = ceiling((2*n^3 + 3*n^2 + 42*n)/72).
a(n) = a(n-12) + (n+1)*(n-12) + 61.
G.f.: x*(1-x^2+x^4) / ( (1+x)*(1+x+x^2)*(x-1)^4 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 22 2011
EXAMPLE
a(12) = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 12 = 61.
