Don Redmond 

Evaluating the Riemann zeta function

Here are Don's notes that he kindly shares with us (+ his description):

There is some notes on a version of Euler's early attempts (Euler and the Basel Problem). Then there is the set of notes on the actual evaluation of zeta(2n). Finally, there are some notes on generating functions, which I am sending along because they include the details on some of the properties of Bernoulli numbers.


You need to download the files before opening to see the equations.
