Re: zetafunc.

Why is this called zetafunc.?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: zetafunc.

I do not know why the other thread is called cheeseburgers either.

Re: zetafunc.

You will need to amend the problem...

Re: zetafunc.

Why? The answer is not pi/8?

Only as n approaches infinity.

Re: zetafunc.

Yes, that was given

Re: zetafunc.

I'm getting pi/8 without having to take any limits.

You might like to call the sum S and consider the integral

where Re(a) and Re(b) > 0.
