Example

log(1 - log(1 - x)/(1 - x)) = x/1! + 2*x^2/2! + 4*x^3/3! + 9*x^4/4! + 28*x^5/5! + 140*x^6/6! + 936*x^7/7! + ...

Maple

b:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<2, n, n*b(n-1)+(n-1)!) end:
a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 0, b(n)-add(
      a(j)*j*binomial(n, j)*b(n-j), j=1..n-1)/n)
    end:
