On the symmetry of the resulting polynomials
by Christopher Yeleighton (posted 5/1/11)

== Conjecture == It would be interesting to know that * sums of odd powers can be factored as a polynomial on (n ⋅ (n + 1) / 2) and is therefore symmetric with the center at (−½); and that * sums of even powers can be factored to a function like above multiplied by (2 ⋅ n + 1) and therefore antisymmetric with the center at (−½). It would be interesting to know whether any rule concerning the polynomials thus obtained.
