Euler numbers


Euler numbersDlmfDlmfPlanetmathPlanetmath En have the generating function 1coshx such that

1coshx=:n=0Enn!xn.

They are integers but have no expression for calculating them.  Their only are that the numbers with odd index (http://planetmath.org/IndexingSet) are all 0 and that

sgn(E2m)=(-1)m  form=0, 1, 2,

The Euler number have intimate relation to the Bernoulli numbersDlmfDlmfMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath.  The first Euler numbers with even index are

E0=1,E2=-1,E4=5,E6=-61,E8=1385,E10=-50521.
