COMMENTS
a(n) is always an integer since a(n+1)/a(n) = n^3 + 7/2*n^2 + 7/2*n + 1 which is always an integer. [D. S. McNeil, Dec 22 2011]
To further follow the above comment from D. S. McNeil: a(n+1)/a(n) is given in A002414. [Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 23 2011]

FORMULA
a(n) = (2n)!(n+1)! / 2^(2n).
a(n+1) = a(n)*(n^3 + 7/2*n^2 + 7/2*n + 1).
a(n+1) = a(n)*A002414(n+1) for n >= 0.
