%N A048954 Wendt determinant of n-th circulant matrix C(n).
%C A048954 det(C(n))=0 for n divisible by 6.
%C A048954 The determinant of the circulant matrix is 0 when 6 divides n because 
               the polynomial (x+1)^(6k) - 1 has roots that are roots of unity. 
               See A086569 for a generalization. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com),
