Rational Zeta Series - Half-integer Power Series

Half-integer Power Series

Similar series may be obtained by exploring the Hurwitz zeta function at half-integer values. Thus, for example, one has

\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac {\zeta(k+n+2)-1}{2^k} {{n+k+1} \choose {n+1}}=\left(2^{n+2}-1\right)\zeta(n+2)-1

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or series:

    “Mothers who have little sense of their own minds and voices are unable to imagine such capacities in their children. Not being fully aware of the power of words for communicating meaning, they expect their children to know what is on their minds without the benefit of words. These parents do not tell their children what they mean by “good” much less why. Nor do they ask the children to explain themselves.”
    —Mary Field Belenky (20th century)

    “I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
