The Catalan numbers are a sequence of natural numbers that occur in various counting problems, often involving recursively defined objects. They are named after Eugène Catalan, though they were previously discovered in the 1730s by Minggatu. The n-th Catalan number can be expressed directly in terms of the central binomial coefficients by

Knowing that some Catalan number counts the number of triangulations of a polygon is part of the excitement of what mathematics is all about. Knowing which Catalan number it is, through the mnemonic that "the n-th Catalan number counts the case of n triangles" is intended to be the frosting on the cake. I'd like to put in the count of triangles ...

Substituting k = 1 into this formula gives the Catalan numbers and substituting k = 2 into this formula gives the Schröder–Hipparchus numbers. [7] In connection with the property of Schröder–Hipparchus numbers of counting faces of an associahedron, the number of vertices of the associahedron is given by the Catalan numbers.
The only known Catalan pseudoprimes are: 5907, 1194649, and 12327121 (sequence A163209 in the OEIS) with the latter two being squares of Wieferich primes. In general, if p is a Wieferich prime, then p 2 is a Catalan pseudoprime.
