               (Start)
%C A036740 a(n) is also the number of binary operations on an n element set which 
               are
%C A036740 right (or left) cancellative. These are also called right (left) cancellative
%C A036740 magma or groupoids. The multiplication table of a right (left) cancellative
%C A036740 magma is an n by n matrix with entries from an n element set such that 
               the
%C A036740 elements in each column (or row) are distinct. (End)
