Eulerian numbers
The Eulerian number  $A(n,k)$, often denoted with  $\Eul{n}{k}$  is the number of permutations of the numbers  $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$  in which  $k$  elements are greater than the previous element, i.e., the number of permutations with  $k$  ascents.

For example, among the  $4!=24$  permutations of  $\{1,2,3,4\}$, there are  $A(4,2)=11$  permutations with 2 ascents, like  $\{1, 2, 4, 3\}$, and  $\{3, 4, 1, 2\}$.

Eulerian numbers are given by the formula

\[ \Eul{n}{k}=\sum_{i=0}^{k+1}(-1)^i(k-i+1)^n{{n+1}\choose i}\,, \]
and are involved in many indentities, like
\[ n!=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\Eul{n}{k}\quad\mathrm{and}\quad x^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\Eul{n}{k}{{x+k}\choose n}\,. \]

The first distinct Eulerian numbers are 1, 4, 11, 26, 57, 66, 120, 247, 302, 502, 1013, 1191, 2036, 2416, 4083, 4293, 8178, 14608, 15619, 16369, 32752, 47840, 65519, 88234, 131054, 152637, 156190 more terms
