Know any 'nice' proofs in maths? Or know an alternative and simpler/nicer proof to common method employed? Post here ==>

I like Euclid's proof better:

futb0l said:hmm .. I don't get this one ...
Sum{ k=1,2,3..., 1/k^a } = Product{ p=2,3,5,7,11,13,17..., 1/(1-1/p^a) }.
can anybody explain it clearer?
"Beautiful-Nice Proofs" are a type of mathematical proof that is characterized by its elegance, simplicity, and aesthetic appeal. They are often considered to be more intuitive and pleasing to the eye compared to other types of proofs.
A "beautiful" or "nice" proof is typically one that is concise, well-organized, and uses creative or unexpected approaches to solve a problem. It often involves a clever use of logic or symmetry to reveal a deeper understanding of the problem at hand.
While the main purpose of "Beautiful-Nice Proofs" is to provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of mathematics, they can also have practical applications in fields such as computer science and physics. These proofs can sometimes lead to new and more efficient algorithms or solutions to real-world problems.
No, "Beautiful-Nice Proofs" can be found at all levels of mathematics, from basic arithmetic to advanced topics such as number theory and topology. They can also be appreciated by both experts and non-experts in the field.
Yes, anyone can learn how to create "Beautiful-Nice Proofs" with practice and dedication. It requires a strong foundation in mathematics, creativity, and the ability to think critically and outside the box. Reading and studying various examples of "Beautiful-Nice Proofs" can also help improve one's skills in creating them.
