If (n,n-1) is the two-part partition of any odd integer greater than 1 then a(n-1) is the number of permutations of shape (n,n-1). For example, the two-part partition of 11 with shape (n,n-1) is (6,5). Pictorially we can draw this as a standard Young diagram with cells populated by hook lengths:

(6,5) = 7 6 5 4 3 1

5 4 3 2 1

and there are a(6-1) = a(5) = 1330560 permutations with shape (6,5). (End)
