Abstract/Summary

This paper discusses the recursive formula En+1= 1/2EiEn-i, with initial conditions Eo = 1, and E1 = 1, for finding the Euler numbers. These numbers appear as the coefficients of the Maclaurin series expansion for sec x and tan x.The main objective of this paper is to present a nonrecursive formula for obtaining the Euler numbers. This makes use of skew-hooks and column products. Euler numbers are expressed as linear combinations of multinomial coefficients. Also a computer program was developed to generate some of these Euler numbers.
