Sum of Zeta Constants
The following sums can be derived from the generating function:
where is the digamma function.
Series related to the Euler–Mascheroni constant (denoted by γ) are
and using the principle value (which of course effects only the value at 1) these formulae can be stated nicer as
and show that they "live" only because the principle value of .

Famous quotes containing the words sum of and/or sum:
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
