COMMENTS
For n>0, these values appear to actually be k+1. - Sean A. Irvine, Oct 01 2024
FORMULA
a(n) is asymptotic to n^2/4. Does lim n -> infinity ABS(4*a(n)-(n+1)^2)/n exist? - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 16 2002
MATHEMATICA
f[n_] := Block[{k = 1, s = 0}, While[s < n, s = s + Sin[1/Sqrt[k]]; k++ ]; k]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 60} ]
