Sums of Powers: Faulhaber's Formula

The document discusses sums of powers and their relation to Faulhaber's formula and zeta constants. It also covers power series, polylogarithms, and their uses in calculating finite and infinite sums. Additionally, it examines properties of the exponential function and its connection to Poisson distributions and Touchard polynomials.

Sums of powers

See Faulhaber's formula.

The first few values are:

See zeta constants.

The first few values are:

 (the Basel problem)

Power series
Low-order polylogarithms

Finite sums:

 , (geometric series)

Infinite sums, valid for (see polylogarithm):

The following is a useful property to calculate low-integer-order polylogarithms recursively in


closed form:


Exponential function

 (cf. mean of Poisson distribution)

 (cf. second moment of Poisson distribution)

where is the Touchard polynomials.
