%F a(n) = (2*n + 1)*(n^2 + n + 3)/3.

%F G.f.: (1+x)*(1+x^2)/(1-x)^4.

%F a(n) = C(n, 0) + 4*C(n, 1) + 6*C(n, 2) + 4*C(n, 3). - _Paul Barry_, Jul 01 2003

%F a(n) is the sum of 4 consecutive tetrahedral (or pyramidal) numbers: C(n+3,3) = (n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)/6 = A000292(n). a(n) = A000292(n-3) + A000292(n-2) + A000292(n-1) + A000292(n). - _Alexander Adamchuk_, May 20 2006

%F a(n) = binomial(n+3,n) + binomial(n+2,n-1) + binomial(n+1,n-2) + binomial(n,n-3). (modified by _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 30 2017)

%F a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*n^2 + 2, n>=1 (first differences A005893). - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Mar 27 2011

%F a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4); a(0)=1, a(1)=5, a(2)=15, a(3)=35. - _Harvey P. Dale_, Nov 03 2011

%F E.g.f.: (3 + 12*x + 9*x^2 + 2*x^3)*exp(x)/3. - _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 30 2017
