Expressions in The Form of P-series

Adamchik and Srivastava give

\sum_{n=2}^\infty n^m \left =
1\, +
\sum_{k=1}^m k!\; S(m+1,k+1) \zeta(k+1)

and

\sum_{n=2}^\infty (-1)^n n^m \left =
-1\, +\, \frac {1-2^{m+1}}{m+1} B_{m+1}
\,- \sum_{k=1}^m (-1)^k k!\; S(m+1,k+1) \zeta(k+1)

where are the Bernoulli numbers and are the Stirling numbers of the second kind.

Famous quotes containing the words expressions and/or form:

    Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.
    W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)

    Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
