COMMENTS
a(n) is the sum of the first six terms of the n-th row in Pascal's triangle. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 19 2009
Also the interpolating polynomial for the divisors of 32: {a(k): 0 <= k < 6} = {1,2,4,8,16,32}. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 17 2009
a(n) is the maximal number of regions in 5-space formed by n-1 4-dimensional hypercubes. - Carl Schildkraut, May 26 2015
a(n) is the number of binary words of length n matching the regular expression 1*0*1*0*1*0*. A000124, A000125, A000127 count binary words of the form 0*1*0*, 1*0*1*0*, and 0*1*0*1*0*, respectively. - Manfred Scheucher, Jun 22 2023

FORMULA
a(n) = binomial(n+1, 5) + binomial(n+1, 3) + binomial(n+1, 1). - Len Smiley, Oct 20 2001
G.f.: (1 - 4*x + 7*x^2 - 6*x^3 + 3*x^4)/(1-x)^6. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 19 2009
E.g.f.: (1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + x^4/24 + x^5/120)*exp(x)
a(n) = (n^5 - 5*n^4 + 25*n^3 + 5*n^2 + 94*n + 120)/120. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 17 2009
a(n) = a(n-1) + A000127(n-1). - Christian Schroeder, Jan 04 2016
EXAMPLE
a(7) = 120 because the first six terms in the 7th row of Pascal's triangle 1 + 7 + 21 + 35 + 35 + 21 = 120. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 19 2009
