ABSTRACT
What is p(n)? We take successive differences of consecutive terms of the sequence,
forming the first difference sequence:
8, 12, 58, 194, 468, 928, 1622, 2598, 3904, 5588, . . . .
Repeating this operation, we find the second difference sequence:
4, 46, 136, 274, 460, 694, 976, 1306, 1684, . . . .
