Quick question, may seem rather dumb - but I just want to make sure of something..

Question: Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the y-axis the region between y = x and y = x^2

so when I am setting up my integral am I correct in saying $$TOP - BOTTOM i.e. --> \int^1_0 (2\pi x) (x - x^2) dx$$?

It looks good to me. The $2\pi x$ gives you the length of a shell, were you to straighten it out. The $x-x^{2}$ gives you the height of a shell, and the $dx$ gives you the thickness.
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
