Bernoulli number


Let Br be the rth Bernoulli polynomialDlmfDlmfPlanetmathPlanetmath. Then the rth Bernoulli numberMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath is

Br:=Br(0).

This means, in particular, that the Bernoulli numbers are given by an exponential generating function in the following way:

r=0Bryrr!=yey-1

and, in fact, the Bernoulli numbers are usually defined as the coefficients that appear in such expansion.

Observe that this generating function can be rewritten:

yey-1=y2ey+1ey-1-y2=(y/2)(tanh(y/2)-1).

Since tanh is an odd functionMathworldPlanetmath, one can see that B2r+1=0 for r1. Numerically, B0=1,B1=-12,B2=16,B4=-130,

These combinatorial numbers occur in a number of contexts; the most elementary is perhaps that they occur in the formulas for the sum of the rth powers of the first n positive integers (http://planetmath.org/SumOfKthPowersOfTheFirstNPositiveIntegers). They also occur in the Maclaurin expansion for the tangent function and in the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula.
