Given the sequence 0, 1, 9, 36, 100, 225, 441... it is possible to

this sequence as it is the sum for the entries in a 9 x 9 multiplication
table.

Can you calculate that function?

It'd be interesting to see how the various functions perform with respect
to that polynomial for large n. They may well implement it.

If you don't know how to proceed, there is a pointer below to the method I
used (any other methods would be of interest):
