Pentagonal Number
A Polygonal Number of the form 
. The first few are 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70, ... (Sloane's A000326).The Generating Function for the pentagonal numbers is
Every pentagonal number is 1/3 of a Triangular Number.
The so-called generalized pentagonal numbers are given by with 
, 
, 
, ..., the firstfew of which are 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 12, 15, 22, 26, 35, ... (Sloane's A001318).
