Bernoulli Polynomials - The Bernoulli and Euler Numbers

The Bernoulli and Euler Numbers

The Bernoulli numbers are given by An alternate convention defines the Bernoulli numbers as . This definition gives Bn = −nζ(1 − n) where for n = 0 and n = 1 the expression −nζ(1 − n) is to be understood as limxnxζ(1 − x). The two conventions differ only for n = 1 since B1(1) = 1/2 = −B1(0).

The Euler numbers are given by

    The forward Youth that would appear
    Must now forsake his Muses dear,
    Nor in the Shadows sing
    His Numbers languishing.
