    Bernoulli Number

    Plot

    Generating function

    sum_(n=0)^∞ (B_n t^n)/(n!) = t/(exp(t) - 1)

    Sequence properties

    B_n is a sequence with rational number values.

    Values

    n | B_n | approximation 0 | 1 | 1 1 | -1/2 | -0.5 2 | 1/6 | 0.166667 3 | 0 | 0 4 | -1/30 | -0.0333333 5 | 0 | 0 6 | 1/42 | 0.0238095 7 | 0 | 0 8 | -1/30 | -0.0333333 9 | 0 | 0 10 | 5/66 | 0.0757576

    Alternative representation

    B_n = ζ(1 - n) (-1) n for (n element Z and n>1)

    B_n = B_n(0) for (n element Z and n>=0)
