<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_numbers" target="_top">Tangent numbers</a>,
also called a zag function. See also <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TangentNumber.html" target="_top">Tangent
number</a>.
</p>
<p>
The first few values are 1, 2, 16, 272, 7936, 353792, 22368256, 1903757312
... (sequence <a href="http://oeis.org/A000182" target="_top">A000182 in OEIS</a>).
They are called tangent numbers because they appear as numerators in the
Maclaurin series of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tan</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Important:</strong></span> there are two competing definitions
of Tangent numbers in common use (depending on whether you take the even
or odd numbered values as non-zero), we use:
</p>
<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/tangent_number_def.svg"></span>
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>
Which gives:
</p>
<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/tangent_number_def2.svg"></span>
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>
Tangent numbers are used in the computation of Bernoulli numbers, but are
also made available here.
