%F a(n) = 1/4*(n^4+14n^3+69n^2+136n+80). G.f.: (20-25x+14x^2-3x^3)/(1-x)^5. - _Ralf Stephan_, Apr 23 2004

%F a(n) = binomial(n+4,2)^2 - binomial(n+4,1)^2. - _Gary Detlefs_, Nov 22 2011

%F Using two consecutive triangular numbers t(n) and t(n+1), starting at n=3, compute the determinant of a 2 X 2 matrix with the first row t(n), t(n+1) and the second row t(n+1), 2*t(n+1). This gives (n+1)^2*(n-2)*(n+2)/4 = a(n-3). - _J. M. Bergot_, May 17 2012
