Unclear on Riemann Zeta Function

hy23 · Jan 23, 2011

After reading about the Riemann Zeta Function on Wolfram Alpha (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RiemannZetaFunction.html), it's still unclear to me how the Euler product formula is essentially equal to the limit of a p-series.

Someone please enlighten me

Try this. It seems quite clear.
