COMMENTS
Number of permutations of n elements with exactly 5 cycles.
Let P(n-1,X) = (X+1)(X+2)(X+3)...(X+n-1); then a(n) is the coefficient of X^4; or a(n) = P''''(n-1,0)/4! - Benoit Cloitre, May 09 2002 [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 29 2020 to agree with the offset of 5]
The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=5,n=1) ~ exp(-x)/x^5*(1 - 15/x + 175/x^2 - 1960/x^3 + 22449/x^4 - ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 for E(x,m,n) information and A163932 for a Maple procedure for the asymptotic expansion. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009

FORMULA
E.g.f.: (-log(1-x))^5/5!. [Corrected by Joerg Arndt, Oct 05 2009]
a(n) is coefficient of x^(n+5) in (-log(1-x))^5, multiplied by (n+5)!/5!.
a(n) = det(|S(i+5,j+4)|, 1 <= i,j <= n-5), where S(n,k) are Stirling numbers of the second kind. [Mircea Merca, Apr 06 2013]
EXAMPLE
(-log(1-x))^5 = x^5 + 5/2*x^6 + 25/6*x^7 + 35/6*x^8 + ...
