Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..prime(n)-1} k!. - G. C. Greubel, Mar 29 2019

Maple

lf:=n->add(k!, k=0..n-1);
[seq(lf(ithprime(n)), n=1..30)];
# 2nd program:
A236399 := proc(n)
    A003422(ithprime(n)) ;
end proc:
seq(A236399(n), n=1..5) ; # R. J. Mathar, Dec 19 2016

Mathematica

leftFac[n_] := Sum[k!, {k, 0, n - 1}];
a[n_] := leftFac[Prime[n]];
