maths.series.hexagonal_numbers

A hexagonal number sequence is a sequence of figurate numbers where the nth hexagonal number hₙ is the number of distinct dots in a pattern of dots consisting of the outlines of regular hexagons with sides up to n dots, when the hexagons are overlaid so that they share one vertex.

Calculates the hexagonal numbers sequence with a formula

hₙ = n(2n-1) where: hₙ –> is nth element of the sequence n –> is the number of element in the sequence reference–>”Hexagonal number” Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_number>
