Bernoulli Number of the Second Kind
A number defined by 
, where 
is a Bernoulli polynomial of the second kind (Roman 1984, p. 294), also called Cauchy numbers of the first kind. The first few for 
, 1, 2, ... are 1, 1/2, 
, 1/4, 
, 9/4, ... (OEIS A006232 and A006233). They are given by
where 
is a falling factorial, and have exponential generating function
