Let a(0) = 0; Let a(1) = 1; Let, for m >= 2, a(m) = a(m-1) *m*(m+1) - a(m-2) *(m-1)*m - m! *(m-1)! + 1 Give a closed form (in terms of a partial sum) for the sequence of a(m)'s. (This sequence is not in the E.I.S. yet.) (I'll give my answer in a couple of days if no one else gets it sooner, of course.) Thanks, Leroy Quet
