%N Faulhaber’s triangle: triangle of numerators of coefficients of power-sum polynomials.

%C This version of Faulhaber's triangle, A220962/A220963, is essentially the same as A162298/A162299 except for having an extra column of 0's. See A162298/A162299 for further information. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 28 2017
