A(n,k) is the determinant of the k X k matrix M = [Stirling2(n+i,j)] for 1<=i,j<=k. A(2,3) = det([1,3,1; 1,7,6; 1,15,25]) = 36.
A(n,k) is the determinant of the symmetric k X k matrix M = [sigma_n(gcd(i,j))] for 1<=i,j<=k. A(2,3) = det([1,1,1; 1,5,1; 1,1,10]) = 36.
A(n,k) is (-1)^(n*k) times the determinant of the n X n matrix M = [Stirling1(k+i,j)] for 1<=i,j<=n. A(2,3) = (-1)^(2+3) * det([-6,11; 24,-50]) = 36.
A(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from {n}^k to {0}^k using steps that decrement one component by 1 such that for each point (p_1,p_2,...,p_k) we have abs(p_i-p_j) <= 1 for 1<=i,j<=k. A(2,3) = 36:

A(n,k) is the number of set partitions of [k*(n+1)] into k blocks of size n+1 such that the elements of each block are distinct mod n+1. A(2,3) = 36: 123|456|789, 126|345|789, ..., 189|234|567, 189|246|357.

FORMULA
A(n,k) = (k!)^n.
A(n,k) = k^n * A(n,k-1) for k>0, A(n,0) = 1.
A(n,k) = k! * A(n-1,k) for n>0, A(0,k) = 1.
G.f. of column k: 1/(1-k!*x).
