Table of n, a(n) for n=0..22.

Formula

a(n) = [x^p(n,n)] (Sum_{k=0..n} x^p(n,k))^n, where p(n,k) = k * (k + 1) * (k * (n - 2) - n + 5) / 6 is the k-th n-gonal pyramidal number.

Example

a(3) = 3 because the third tetrahedral (or triangular pyramidal) number is 10 and we have [10, 0, 0], [0, 10, 0] and [0, 0, 10].

Mathematica
