In mathematics, a rational zeta series is the representation of an arbitrary real number in terms of a series consisting of rational numbers and the Riemann zeta function or the Hurwitz zeta function. Specifically, given a real number x, the rational zeta series for x is given by
where qn is a rational number, the value m is held fixed, and ΞΆ(s, m) is the Hurwitz zeta function. It is not hard to show that any real number x can be expanded in this way.

Famous quotes containing the words rational and/or series:
“No crime can ever be defended on rational grounds.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
