17 | Prof. Atul Dixit | Ramanujan’s formula for ζ(2m + 1) and subsequent developments

In his famous notebooks, Srinivasa Ramanujan obtained a beautiful result generalizing that of Lerch for the Riemann zeta function, with applications ranging from modular forms to analysis of special data structures and algorithms. The lecture gives a historical survey on Ramanujan’s formula, then explores further recent generalizations.
