give the first three terms of
a%5Bn%5D=n%28n-1%29%28n-2%29, n%3E1 in general rule
a%5Bn%5D=n%28n-1%29%28n-2%29 if n=2
a%5B2%5D=2%282-1%29%282-2%29
a%5B2%5D=2%281%29%280%29
a%5B2%5D=0
a%5Bn%5D=n%28n-1%29%28n-2%29 if n=3
a%5B3%5D=3%283-1%29%283-2%29
a%5B3%5D=3%282%29%281%29
a%5B3%5D=6
a%5Bn%5D=n%28n-1%29%28n-2%29 if n=4
a%5B4%5D=4%284-1%29%284-2%29
a%5B4%5D=4%283%29%282%29
a%5B4%5D=24
