Formal Statement
A mathematically precise statement of universality for the Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) follows.
Let U be a compact subset of the strip
such that the complement of U is connected. Let f : U → C be a continuous function on U which is holomorphic on the interior of U and does not have any zeros in U. Then for any ε > 0 there exists a t ≥ 0 such that
Even more: the lower density of the set of values t which do the job is positive, as is expressed by the following inequality about a limit inferior.
where λ denotes the Lebesgue measure on the real numbers.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or statement:
“That anger can be expressed through words and non-destructive activities; that promises are intended to be kept; that cleanliness and good eating habits are aspects of self-esteem; that compassion is an attribute to be prized—all these lessons are ones children can learn far more readily through the living example of their parents than they ever can through formal instruction.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
