FORMULA
E.g.f.: -i*log(i*x + sqrt(1 - x^2))/(1 - x), where i is the imaginary unit.
a(n) ~ n! * Pi/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 20 2017
a(2*n) = 2*n*a(2*n-1). - Greg Dresden, Apr 04 2024
a(2*n+1) = (2*n+1)*(2*n)*a(2*n-1) + ((2*n-1)!!)^2, using the double factorial notation from A001147. - Greg Dresden, Apr 11 2024
EXAMPLE
arcsin(x)/(1 - x) = x/1! + 2*x^2/2! + 7*x^3/3! + 28*x^4/4! + 149*x^5/5! + ...
