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:
“Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?”

“The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
