Q: Origin of the ZETA_LOG_TABLE? #22

@dvdplm

Description

@dvdplm

The ZETA_LOG_TABLE constant carries a comment saying // table for riemann zeta function. ZETA_LOG_TABLE[i] = ln(ζ(i-2)), but it seems like the values are actually ln(ζ(k)) for k from 2 to 65?

Furthermore, when I ask Wolfram Alpha for the same list I get numbers that do not quite match up, especially towards the end of the sequence (e.g. there are 0 values and negatives).

Where do the values in the ZETA_LOG_TABLE come from and how were they computed/transformed?

Wolfram outputs this list:
