FORMULA
a(n) = 1 + (2/105)*n*(222*n^6 + 756*n^5 + 1260*n^4 + 1470*n^3 + 1708*n^2 + 1029*n + 170).
G.f.: (1+119*x+2037*x^2+8211*x^3+8787*x^4+2037*x^5+119*x^6+x^7)/(1-x)^8. - Colin Barker, Mar 16 2012
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8). - Harvey P. Dale, Jul 18 2012
