Mass-effect – How much experience is needed for each level

mass-effect-3

I've made a list of data I've collected from my own saves, if anyone is less lazy or more smarter than me to figure out the pattern:

LVL  |  Experience
-----+-------------
27   |      33,075
29   |      37,375
30   |      38,927
30   |      39,277
32   |      42,527
33   |      43,517
47   |      75,728
50   |      83,343
54   |      92,793
55   |      94,693 
55   |      95,693

Does anyone know this? Does such a list exist? I've searched everywhere.

[edit: 09_26_12] thanks for scouring the internet over to the mass effect wiki for the original ME advancement system. here's how it works in the sequel:

can we go for third time's a charm and get the ME3 chart? I'll try to devise an algorithm from the data I've collected.

   30      38025   1650 |    60     121400   5400

Level 24 appears to have an unexpected experience requirement. Based on the deltas between the other levels, I would have expected level 24 to require 28,275 experience instead of 28,725, so it's possible that this is a minor bug.
