 JANUARY 3, 1997:
Fourteen
Evaluations of Zeta Two
( DVI Version
or
PS Version)
-- from Richard Chapman's home page in Exeter (perhaps "On
first looking in to Chapman's Zeta"?).
The picture is of
Leonhard Euler (1707-1783)
dressed as a New York Yankee!
We start the course with Euler's marvelous evaluation of Zeta(2).
Euler and Srinivasa
Ramanujan (1887-1920)
are my two favorite Mathematicians.

JANUARY 3, 1997:
ENIAC, developed during the war,
computed Pi (Euler's 1737 notation) to 2037 places in 1949. Pi, Euler, Ramanujan and
Joseph Fourier (1768-1831)
are irrevocably tangled together.

This is ENIAC.
