%N Floor of area of triangle whose sides are consecutive Ulam numbers (A002858).
%C It has been proved that three consecutive Ulam numbers U(n) for n > 1 satisfy the triangle inequality. See Wikipedia link below.

%F Given a triangle with sides a, b and c, the area A = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) where s = (a+b+c)/2.
%e a(2) = 2 because the triangle with sides (2, 3, 4) has area 3*sqrt(15)/4 = 2.9047...
