Name to a progression with the general term $a_n=a+d\cdot n(n+1)$

56 Views Asked by At

An arithmetic progression has a general term $$a_n=a+d\cdot n.$$ Working with a larger problem I arrived to an expression $$a_n=a+d\cdot n(n+1),\quad n=0,1, ...$$ with $a, d \in \mathbb{R}.$
Can you please help me with the terminology - what is the name of this kind of sequence?
