%N A060293 Expected coupon collection numbers rounded up; i.e. if aiming to collect 
               a set of n coupons, the expected number of random coupons required 
               to receive the full set.
%D A060293 R. Wyss, Identitaeten bei den Stirling-Zahlen 2. Art aus kombinatorischen 
               Ueberlegungen beim Wuerfelspiel, Elem. Math. 51 (1996) 102-106, Eq 
               (5). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 02 2009]
%F A060293 a(n) =ceiling[n*sum_{1->n}(1/k)] =ceiling[n*A001008(n)/A002805(n)] =A052488(n)+1 
               for n>2
%e A060293 a(2)=3 since the prob of getting both coupons after two is 1/2, after 
               3 is 1/4, after 4 is 1/8, etc. and 2/2+3/2^2+4/2^3+.... =3.
