Talk:Basel Problem/Proof 1

Hello all. I modified the page made by Primemover, which was based on this document: http://secamlocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/rjchapma/etc/zeta2.pdf

Now, i've found a nice resource from WolframAlpha: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RiemannZetaFunctionZeta2.html which refers to a book by Simmons, G. F.

May anyone assist me into adding this valuable sources into the proof page?--Danieltatis (talk) 10:01, 15 June 2014‎ (UTC)


 * The document you linked to has in it the source work from which it was originally taken, you might want to start with that.


 * I have the Simmons on my bookshelf. I'm fairly sure the proof given was not particularly rigorous, and IIRC what was in that book appears as Proof 2 (but I'd have to check and I'm abroad at the moment).


 * Note, by the way, that I have replaced the maintenance template as work still needs to be done to tidy up the page (only minor, but still needs doing -- I'll get round to it when I'm so motivated). Please don't remove maintenance templates, it's the technique we use to keep track of work that still needs to be done. --prime mover (talk) 15:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
