%N Squarefree polygonal numbers P(s,n) with s >= 3 and n >= 3.

%C The main entry for this sequence is A090466 = polygonal numbers of order (or rank) greater than 2.

%C The special polygonal numbers A324973 form a subsequence that contains all Carmichael numbers A002997. See Kellner and Sondow 2019.
