FORMULA
Given a variant of Pascal's triangle (cf. A209518) in which the two rightmost diagonals are deleted, invert the triangle and extract the leftmost column. Considered as a sequence, we obtain A006568/A006569: (1, -1/3, 1/18, 1/90, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 09 2012
EXAMPLE
a(0), a(1), a(2), ... = (1, -1/3, 1/18, ...) = leftmost column of the inverse of the 3 X 3 matrix [1; 1, 3; 1, 4, 6; ...].
MATHEMATICA
rows = 28; M = Table[If[n-1 <= k <= n, 0, Binomial[n, k]], {n, 2, rows+1}, {k, 0, rows-1}] // Inverse;
M[[All, 1]] // Denominator (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 14 2018 *)
