Tetrahedral number
A tetrahedral number, or triangular pyramidal number, is a figurate number that represents a pyramid with a triangular base and three sides, called a tetrahedron. The nth tetrahedral number, Ten, is the sum of the first n triangular numbers, that is, T e n = ∑ k = 1 n T k = ∑ k = 1 n k ( k + 1 ) 2 = ∑ k = 1 n ( ∑ i = 1 k i ) {\displaystyle Te_{n}=\sum _{k=1}^{n}T_{k}=\sum _{k=1}^{n}{\frac {k(k+1)}{2}}=\sum _{k=1}^{n}\left(\sum _{i=1}^{k}i\right)} The tetrahedral numbers are: 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 84, 120, 165, 220, ...
