We have (putting N = k + n ) n = 1 ∑ ∞ k = 1 ∑ ∞ k + n ζ ( k + n ) − 1 = = = N = 2 ∑ ∞ n = 1 ∑ N − 1 N ζ ( N ) − 1 N = 2 ∑ ∞ N ( N − 1 ) ( ζ ( N ) − 1 ) = N = 2 ∑ ∞ ( ζ ( N ) − 1 ) − N = 2 ∑ ∞ N ζ ( N ) − 1 1 − ( 1 − γ ) = γ making the answer 1 + 0 = 1 . Since all the terms in the series are positive, there is no problem rearranging the series in this manner.
