FORMULA

It follows that:

a(n)=((n-1)!*sum(i=0..n-1, (binomial(n,i)*sum(j=0..n, j!*(-1)^(j)*binomial(n,j)*stirling1(n-i-1,j)))/(n-i-1)!)), n>0, a(0)=1. [Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 13 2012]

(Maxima)

a(n):=if n=0 then 1 else ((n-1)!*sum((binomial(n, i)*sum(j!*(-1)^(j)*binomial(n, j)*stirling1(n-i-1, j), j, 0, n))/(n-i-1)!, i, 0, n-1)); [Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 13 2012]
