FORMULA

a(n) = binomial(2*n-1/2, -1/2).

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 06 2009: (Start)

a(n) = numer((4*n)!/(2^(4*n)*(2*n)!^2))

(End)

EXAMPLE

For n=1, the binomial(2*n-1/2, -1/2) yields the term 3/8. The numerator of this term is 3, which is the second term of the sequence.

MAPLE

seq(numer(binomial(2*n-1/2, -1/2)), n=1..20);

CROSSREFS
