Faulhaber's triangle
Named after Johann Faulhaber, the rows of Faulhaber's triangle are the coefficients of polynomials that represent sums of integer powers, which are extracted from Faulhaber's formula:
where is the nth-Bernoulli number.
The first 5 rows of Faulhaber's triangle, are:
1
1/2 1/2
1/6 1/2 1/3
0 1/4 1/2 1/4
-1/30 0 1/3 1/2 1/5
Using the third row of the triangle, we have:
- Task
- show the first 10 rows of Faulhaber's triangle.
- using the 18th row of Faulhaber's triangle, compute the sum: (extra credit).
- See also
- Bernoulli numbers
- Evaluate binomial coefficients

JavaScript
ES6
JavaScript is probably not the right instrument to choose for this task, which requires both a ratio number type and arbitrary precision integers. JavaScript has neither – its only numeric datatype is the IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point format number, into which integers and all else must fit. (See the built-in JS name Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER)
This means that we can print Faulhaber's triangle (hand-coding some rudimentary ratio-arithmetic functions), but our only reward for evaluating faulhaber(17, 1000) is an integer overflow. With JS integers out of the box, we can get about as far as faulhaber(17, 8), or faulhaber(4, 1000).
