Should this be considered interesting enough for submission?
a(n) = floor( ((2*pi)^n)/(n-1)!) = integer part of Volume of the unit
sphere in 2n-dimensional space.

for positive n:

6, 39, 124, 259, 408, 512, 536, 481, 378, 264, 166, 94, 49, 24, 10, 4,
1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ....

This also occurs in the recently cited 1944 Chern proof of the
Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
