%N Coefficient of x^n in (Product_{m=1..n}(1-x^m))^n.

%C Degree of resulting polynomial is A002411(n). - _Michel Marcus_, Sep 05 2013

%C The Gauss congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^k) hold for all primes p and all positive integers n and k. - _Peter Bala_, Jan 31 2022

%C Conjectures: the supercongruences a(p) == -1 - p (mod p^2) and a(2*p) == p - 1 (mod p^2) hold for all primes p >= 3. - _Peter Bala_, Apr 18 2023

%F a(n) = [x^n] exp(-n*Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(k*(1 - x^k))). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, May 30 2018

%e (1-x)^1 = -x + 1, hence a(1) = -1.

%e (1-x^2)^2*(1-x)^2 = x^6 - 2*x^5 - x^4 + 4*x^3 - x^2 - 2*x + 1, hence a(2) = -1.
