Euler's formula for the zeta function at the positive even integers

Samyukta Krishnamurthy and Micah B. Milinovich

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 4, 541–548
DOI: 10.2140/involve.2019.12.541
Abstract

We give a new proof of Euler’s formula for the values of the Riemann zeta function at the positive even integers. The proof involves estimating a certain integral of elementary functions two different ways and using a recurrence relation for the Bernoulli polynomials evaluated at 1 2.
