Functional Equation
The functional equation relates values of the zeta on the left- and right-hand sides of the complex plane. For integers ,
![\zeta \left(1-s,\frac{m}{n} \right) =
\frac{2\Gamma(s)}{ (2\pi n)^s }
\sum_{k=1}^n \left[\cos
\left( \frac {\pi s} {2} -\frac {2\pi k m} {n} \right)\;
\zeta \left( s,\frac {k}{n} \right)\right]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/c/7/6/c76111a861d49dae418bc7da47734a6e.png)
holds for all values of s.

Famous quotes containing the words functional and/or equation:
“Well designed, fully functional infant. Provides someone to live for as well as another mouth to feed. Produces cooing, gurgling and other adorable sounds. May cause similar behavior in nearby adults. Cries when hungry, sleepy or just because. Hand Wash with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry with soft cloth and talc. Internal mechanisms are self-cleaning... Two Genders: Male. Female. Five Colors: White. Black. Yellow. Red. Camouflage.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Baby,” Avon Books (1982)
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
