Proof of the Recursive Identity for the Bernoulli Numbers

Posted on March 9, 2015 by mzspivey

The Bernoulli numbers satisfy the recursive relationship .  (Here, is the Iverson bracket, where evaluates to 1 if P is true and 0 if P is false.)  The relationship can be used to calculate the Bernoulli numbers fairly easily.  This post gives a … Continue reading →
