COMMENTS
Iteratively taking sums of the values in each row starting with 1 produces the "figurate" numbers. For instance: 1, 1 + 2 = 3, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 (the Triangular numbers -- A000217) 1, 1 + 3 = 4, 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 (the Square numbers -- A000290) 1, 1 + 4 = 5, 1 + 4 + 7 = 10 (the Pentagonal numbers -- A000326) etc. Iterative sums of the rows in between produce sequences related to the figurate numbers: 2, 2+4=6, 2+4+6=10 (oblong, or pronic, or heteromecic numbers -- A002378) 2, 2+5=7, 2+5+8=15 (second pentagonal numbers -- A005449) 3, 3+6=9, 3+6+9=18 (triangular matchstick numbers --A045943) etc. Iterative products produce the n-Factorial numbers: 1, 1*3=3, 1*3*5=15 (Double factorial numbers: (2n-1)!! -- A001147 2, 2*4=8, 2*4*6=48 (Double factorial numbers: (2n)!! -- A000165) 1, 1*4=4, 1*4*7=28, (Triple factorial numbers (3*n-2)!!! -- A007559) etc.

MAPLE
A:= proc(n, k) local m;
m:= floor((sqrt(8*n-7)-1)/2);
n + (m+1)*(k-1-m/2)
end:
seq(seq(A(1+d-k, k), k=1..d), d=1..12); # Alois P. Heinz, Jul 16 2012
MATHEMATICA
imax = 5;
A = Table[k, {i, 1, imax}, {j, 1, i}, {k, j, j + i*imax*(imax+1)/2 - 1, i} ] // Flatten[#, 1]&;
