Fourier Analysis and the closed form for the Zeta Function at even positive integers

Number Theory 2020-12-04 v2

Abstract

Using a summation identity obtained for the Fourier coefficients of x2kx^{2k}, we derive a closed form expression for the zeta function at even positive integers, using a technique similar to one in an existing proof by Aladdi and Defant[1], but in a simpler and shorter way.
