For n < 3, the formula does not produce an integer.
The ratio of the product of the partition parts of 2n into exactly two parts to the sum of the partition parts of 2n into exactly two parts. For example, a(3) = 20, and 2*3 = 6 has 3 partitions into exactly two parts: (5,1), (4,2), (3,3). Forming the ratio of product to sum (of parts), we have (5*1*4*2*3*3)/(5+1+4+2+3+3) = 360/18 = 20. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 24 2013

FORMULA
a(n) ~ sqrt(Pi)*2^(2*n-1)*n^(2*n-3/2)/exp(2*n). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 01 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 10 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=3} 1/a(n) = e - 8/3.
Sum_{n>=3} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = cos(1) + sin(1) - 4/3. (End)
EXAMPLE
a(3) = (2*3 - 1)!/(2*3) = 5!/6 = 120/6 = 20.
