This sequence is a Pascal-like triangle (see Pascal triangle). It appears naturally in combinatorics, topology, representation theory, computer science and numerical analysis. The natural formula for the terms seems to depend heavily on the context in which they appear, but it is not hard to show by hand that all these formulae satisfy the defining recursive formula.
