FORMULA
a(n) = b where b = floor(sqrt(2*10^(n-1))) and if b(b+1)/2 < 10^(n-1), then b = b+1. [corrected by Ray Chandler, Oct 04 2011]
a(n) = round((2*10^(n-1))^(1/2)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Mar 08 2004
a(n) = A002024(10^(n-1)). - Michel Marcus, Jan 27 2022
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 45 as the 45th triangular number is 45*46/2 = 1035 while the 44th is 990.
MATHEMATICA
f[n_] := Block[{a = Floor[Sqrt[2*10^n]]}, If[a(a + 1)/2 < 10^n, a++ ]; Return[a]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 30} ]
