%N First differences of triangular numbers with square pyramidal indices.

%C This sequence is also the sums of a partition of the integers into groups of (n+1)^2 integers starting at 1 and not repeating or skipping any: a(0)=1, a(1)=2+3+4+5=14, a(2)=6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14=90, etc.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_06">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (6,-15,20,-15,6,-1).

%F Let SP(m) be the m-th square pyramidal number m*(m+1)*(2*m+1)/6 and let T(k) be the k-th Triangular number k*(k+1)/2; then a(n) = T(SP(n+1))-T(SP(n)) = ((n+1)^2*(n+2)*(2*n^2+2*n+3))/6.

%F G.f.: (1+8*x+21*x^2+10*x^3)/(1-x)^6. [_Colin Barker_, Apr 30 2012]

%e SP(3)=14, SP(4)=30, T(14)=105 and T(30)=465, so a(3)=465-105=360.
