Talk:Faulhaber's formula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 'Umbral' section it looks as if the factor 1 / (p+1) has been omitted twice.(Crackling 22:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] First sum fomula: no need for "special case"

In this article, in the first formula, there is no need for a special case for p=1: because if ( − 1)^p be inserted, all is well - since all odd Bernoulli numbers (excepting B_1) vanish. (There should be no other consequences - as far as I can see.) Hair Commodore 16:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] about faulhaber observation in the last of this article

There is an error in faulhaber's polynomials. This article says that : 1^{11}+ 2^{11} + 3^{11} + \cdots + n^{11} = {32a^6 - 64a^5 + 68a^4 -40a^3 + 5a^2 \over 6} But It's : 1^{11}+ 2^{11} + 3^{11} + \cdots + n^{11} = {32a^6 - 64a^5 + 68a^4 -40a^3 + 10a^2 \over 6} Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.243.163.199 (talk • contribs)
