FORMULA
a(n)=n*(sum_{s=0}^m p^s*(p^(eps(s)*n)-p^(eps(s-1)*n))), where p=2, n=h*p^m, with gcd(h, p)=1, eps(-1)=-infinity, eps(0)=0 and eps(s)=sum_{i=1 to s} 1/(p^i)
EXAMPLE
a(2)=6 There are 6 ramified extensions with minimal polynomials x^2+2, x^2-2, x^2+6, x^2-6, x^2+2x+2, x^2+2x+6, there is another one by x^2+x+1, but this is unramified.
