In mathematics, Faulhaber's formula, named after Johann Faulhaber, expresses the sum of the ''p''-th powers of the first ''n'' positive integers : as a (''p'' + 1)th-degree polynomial function of ''n'', the coefficients involving Bernoulli numbers ''Bj''. The formula says : Faulhaber himself did not know the formula in this form, but only computed the first seventeen polynomials; the general form was established with the discovery of the Bernoulli numbers (see History section below). The derivation of Faulhaber's formula is available in ''The Book of Numbers'' by John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy. There is also a similar (but somehow simpler) expression: using the idea of telescoping and the binomial theorem, one gets ''Pascal's identity'': :. This in particular yields the examples below, e.g., take ''k'' = 1 to get the first example. ==Examples== : (the triangular numbers) : (the square pyramidal numbers) : (the squared triangular numbers) : : : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faulhaber's formula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
