%N Number of solutions to the equation x_1 + ... + x_n =0 satisfying -n<=x_i<=n (1<=i<=n).
%C The number of variables in the equation is exactly n and each variable can have a value of -n to n.
%C Also the number of compositions of n^2 into a maximum of n parts and each part having a maximum value of 2n. Equivalently, the number of compositions of n(n+1) into exactly n parts and each part having a maximum value of 2n+1.

%e Case n=3:
%e Solutions are: {-3 0 3}x6, {-3 1 2}x6, {-2 -1 3}x6, {-2 0 2}x6,
%e {-2 1 1}x3, {-1 -1 2}x3, {-1 0 1}x6, {0 0 0}x1
%e In the above, {-3 0 3}x6 means that the values can be expanded to 6 solutions by considering different orderings.
%e In total there are 6+6+6+6+3+3+6+1 = 37 solutions so a(3)=37.
