%N Eulerian numbers (Euler's triangle: column k=5 of A008292, column k=4 of A173018).
%C There are 2 versions of Euler's triangle:
%C * A008292 Classic version of Euler's triangle used by Comtet (1974).
%C * A173018 Version of Euler's triangle used by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik in Concrete Math. (1990).
%C Euler's triangle rows and columns indexing conventions:
%C * A008292 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 1. (Classic version: used in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet.)
%C * A173018 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 0. (Graham et al.)
%C Number of permutations of n letters with exactly 4 descents. - Neven Juric, Jan 21 2010
