COMMENT

For n odd, lim n->inf a(n)/n! = cosh(1). For n even, lim n->inf a(n)/n! = sinh(1) lim n->inf n*a(n)*a(n-1)/n!^2 = cosh(1)sinh(1). For signed values, Sum n=1..inf a(n)/n!^2 = 0. For unsigned values, Sum n=1..inf a(n)/n!^2 = cosh(1)sinh(1) - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Jun 06 2004
