Abstract
We review the closed-forms of the partial Fourier sums associated with and create an asymptotic expression for as a way to obtain formulae for the full Fourier series (if is such that , we get a surprising pattern, ). Finally, we use the found Fourier series formulae to obtain the values of the Lerch transcendent function, , and by extension the polylogarithm, , at the positive integers .
