%N a(n) = numerator(Sum_{k=0..n} 1/(binomial(2*k,k)*(k+1))).

%C Previous name was: "Numerators of partial sums of a certain series of inverse central binomial coefficients.Numerators of partial sums of a certain series of inverse central binomial coefficients".

%C See A145565 for the denominators.

%C The limit of the rational partial sums r(n), defined below, for n->infinity is (4*sqrt(3)- Pi)*Pi/9. This limit is approximately 1.321776442.
