FORMULA

a(n)=x+1-(sign(x(2x+1)-y(2y+1)))*(n-2x^2-3x-1) where x=floor((-1-sqrt(1+8n))/4), y=-floor((1-sqrt(1+8n))/4), sign(x)=abs(x)/x when x is not 0, and sign(0)=0, floor(x)=the greatest integer less than or equal to x, sqrt(x)=the principal square root of x, and abs(x)=the absolute value (or magnitude) of x. - Mark E. Spindler (loqstuy0(AT)hotmail.com), Mar 25 2004
