FORMULA
A(n,k) = Sum_{i=k..k*n} b(i) where Sum_{i=k..k*n} b(i) * (-x)^i/i! = (1/k!) * (Sum_{i=1..n} x^i/i!)^k.
EXAMPLE
For (n,k) = (3,2), (1/2) * (Sum_{i=1..3} x^i/i!)^2 = (1/2) * (x + x^2/2 + x^3/6)^2 = (-x)^2/2 + (-3)*(-x)^3/6 + 7*(-x)^4/24 + (-10)*(-x)^5/120 + 10*(-x)^6/720. So A(3,2) = 1 - 3 + 7 - 10 + 10 = 5.
